The home of Clough Williams-Ellis - creator of the whimsical village Portmeirion. This is really nothing like that….

A gem of a garden and a lovely tour of the house.

Visiting the same garden at different times of the year - it’s like seeing an old friend again in a different context.

A second trip to Great Dixter - this time to visit the Lutyens wing.

A trip to Sussex extended to Hampshire and Wiltshire…. A glimpse into my life when I’m out on a recce.

I visit the Wye Valley Sculpture Garden for snowdrop weekend.

Sometimes things don’t offer what you expect - but their beauty is even more special once you have learnt to appreciate it.
