A river runs through it.....

This is the first time I had visited this garden in Longparish, nearly 30 years after first knowing of it's existence.

Absolutely stunning, 15 acres of beautiful English country gardens with the River Test flowing right through the middle of it.

Moooooooo!

On the way to garden #1 on the National Garden Scheme open day in Longparish.

South of France.....

.... no, it's the South of Buckinghamshire! Cliveden to be precise, a good time was had, a stunning place & a beautiful hotel, it could do with a bit of sprucing up, but nonetheless, it was lovely.

Lot's of history & absolutely stunning on a sunny Sunday, the Duke of Sutherland had the house rebuilt after a fire, the current form and his vision for an Italianate Mediterranean Villa with a veranda overlooking the Parterre garden is wonderful.

The house was designed by Charles Barry, architect of the Houses of Parliament, similarities at Cliveden can be seen. Unusually not made of stone, it is brick built with concrete façade.

RHS Gardens at Wisley

A good day out was had at RHS Wisley, the car parks were filling fast, but the Ghurka's had it all under control.
