It has so much going for it, the Winter Garden, rose garden, herbaceous border, naturalised lawns, massive wisterias, the fragrant weeping silver lime, the list goes on an on. We do miss it very much. I'm glad for you that you managed a visit.Sunil Patelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998062749546109287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607070511807868177.post-81288034953298440822015-03-18T17:01:35.551+00:002015-03-18T17:01:35.551+00:00They had airport style security.They had airport style security.Sarah Shoesmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410745860215082568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607070511807868177.post-58098456829963579972015-03-18T09:38:17.053+00:002015-03-18T09:38:17.053+00:00Did they search her?Did they search her?Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607070511807868177.post-11744388018712545872015-03-18T08:12:44.044+00:002015-03-18T08:12:44.044+00:00I suspect the soil everywhere else in East Anglia ...I suspect the soil everywhere else in East Anglia is wonderful and I have drawn the very short straw.

Actually, come to think of it, I haven't paid to see a garden yet this year.

I have a shady border beneath my kitchen window where I have planted a group and the scent really packs a punch. I'm sorry that you can't grow it - I would miss it too if our climate didn't suit it.

Then I realised that we were near villages where my ancestors were from so I trundled around a graveyard with her accusing me of applying my garden visit tricks (white lies) to genealogy!
