  2. I've been to those Gardens - but probably before those silver birches were planted - it was thirty two years ago now!

  5. Love those elm fruits Juliet. Also love the peacock butterfly on your header. On my walk this afternoon I saw three peacock butterflies - fantastic.

  6. There are people in there strolling among the magnolias!

    Was this once all the King's land?

  7. Hi Rabbits Guy - no in fact it used to be covered in water, it was known as the Norloch but it was drained (don't know when) to make these gardens.

    a nice surprise, then the tidy space of the second. enjoyed it.
