FRIDAY'S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS - (Part 12 and final day in this series)

It is very fitting that this on the last day in my series on Clandeboye Estate the word prompt for Friday’s Hunt is the letter Z as it is the last letter in the alphabet.  Of course we always have a favourite which I will leave you to choose and Today.  I am also linking in with Weekend Reflections. 

Let me ZIP through the final reflections from the estate.

Last year while in Malawi my daughter took me to visit a friend who lived quite high in the hills but overlooking a town called ZOMBA.  This is a panorama view from her veranda of that area.

Once again while as I was taking the panorama shot from the veranda, I heard Annika, my granddaughter calling but for the life of me I could not see her.  Can you?  Believe me, she is in that image!!

To help you out I will show you and when I found where she had climbed up to my heart went ZING!

The family and I visited ZAMBIA for a week last December and I photographed these ZEBRA and Giraffe prints at the Tribal Textiles units.

Of course I cannot not show you one of the many ZEBRA images 

I took on safari in ZAMBIA.  

To illustrate TODAY, I was at Mount Stewart photographing the vintage cars and athough I did not find a car beginning with Z I did find a old toy car and it was a Ford ZEPHYR Police car.

Today finishes the series pf photographs in this series from Clandeboye Estate, however, I have a little surpise for you tomorrow in that I videoed one number that the band played in the Courtyard, so I hope Eillen does not mind us starting the weekend with a song in our heart.

I do hope you have enjoyed this series on Clandeboye Estate.

Have a lovely weekend everyone and thanks for visiting.

Many thanks to all who leave comments. 

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS & FRIDAY'S HUNT

Just one photograph today for WF and in fact it is the last shot of these posts that I have shared with you from my 2014 trip to Malawi.  The chocolate cake is being reflected in the silver as Judith and I were taken tea at Huntingdon House.

For the Friday's Hunt prompts this week, we have the letter E, Favourtie and Sky.

While I was in Malawi this year, my family and I had a holiday in Zambia and rented the fabulous home of Jake and Gill'ys right next door to a Safari Park.  On waking the first moring we were ECSTATIC  to see two ELEPHANTS in view from our terrace.

You can take you pick of your FAVOURITE from the three shots this week.

This scene below was taken in Zambia when we were on a night drive in the Safari Park and stopped to have refreshments while we watched the SKY changing colour as the sun set over the river.

I hope you have enjoyed all the posts from Malawi 2014 (well at least some). It has been quite a mammoth task over many months to make all these posts.  Thanks to all you stuck with all the posts.  Sorry when I was away this year that I could not put them on Google + or FaceBook.

After I left my family in Malawi, I flew to Johannesburg, South Africa where I stayed with a old nursing friend and her husband and so from tomorrow, I will be showing you those posts.

Today I fly to Costa Rica so I hope you will continue to pop in and see my scheduled posts while I am away however I will not be able to comment on your posts unfortunately.

Many thanks for your visit and also to all those people who leave comments.
