It must have been wonderful to sit munching cake and sipping tea and admiring this magnificent garden. I just love all those different features and the bowls of greenery. I am wondering perhaps I could add a couple of mini ones to my balcony garden. I had actually been thinking of buying some little pottery Buddhas to hide among my plants. At the time I thought it would be a bit too fussy but I don't know now ...I just might! Thanks for sharing your visit to this lovely place.

We did do a local village open gardens event a week or so ago, which I will blog about soon, and in our favourite garden we saw sculptures which you would look at in the garden centre and think … never in a million years … but in the right spot they somehow just look so right 😃Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755023281455689775noreply@blogger.com
