Time to round up our last day away. We went to a place called Brooksbank Walled Garden; we'd never heard of it before but there were several leaflets for it in the cottage we rented and we're suckers for a walled garden. In fact it's not just the walled garden, they have a rockery and a woodland walk and also a national collection of narcissi; not that the narcissi were in evidence in August. It must be a great place to go in the spring though.
That said, even though there weren't many flowers about and they had had to put in various restrictions due to corona virus, we had a really lovely time there. The weather was glorious and so we had our second al fresco lunch in a row, and I bought some jam and some chutney that they make on the estate. And I took a shed load of pictures.
That's a fairly random selection, but it gives an idea. It was a lovely day, in fact looking back it was a very nice week. Which is as well since it seems likely to be our last holiday for a while.
I dearly love a walled garden. I put it down to reading “The Secret Garden” at an impressionable age!
