Ushaw College

Today myself, Mr YB, my sister and brother-in-law went to visit Ushaw College in County Durham.  The College used to be seminary but closed due to there not being enough priests to train.  It now has a close connection with Durham University and it is open to the public.  There are beautiful gardens, a stunning chapel, cafe etc.  

Throughout the year many different events take place in the building and extensive grounds.  At the moment there is an exhibition of old wedding dresses - absolutely up my street.  My sister and I really enjoyed the exhibition and Mr YB and BIL tolerated it.  We also had a look in the chapel, had tea and cake and a walk and sit in the gardens.  The weather was beautiful.  Ideal for a day out.  

I have attached an extra of some of the dresses - an Indian one, a one from the 1980's (I think) and something more to wear for a winter wedding.

Let's hope this lovely weather continues.  Have a good weekend.
