The sun shone today for the 3rd day in a row and we set off for our local walled garden in the grounds of Chesters a fabulous stately home. We buy all our herbs there as they are THE best in Northumberland which is why the rabbits keep eating them.
Come on a tour with me and I'll show you a very English Garden (oh yes grapes in abundance in the greenhouse)

A very eccentric English thing to do is to put a door that leads nowhere into a hedge.

A secret house tucked in amongst the trees in the grounds. No one lives there but it looks beautiful in it's neglected state.

The shop in Chesters Walled Garden sells flowers that have fallen over for next to nothing. These fabulous Amaryllis were £1. Look at the fire extinguisher placed there by a health and safety person (YUK) it has to be so visible you could fall over it.

These foliage pictures are heavenly!
I'm glad the floods didn't hit you.
Stunning,
What a way to shop! That photo of grapes is unbelievable.
Those grapes growing indoors are not to be believed!
Looks like a beautiful place to visit, ahh...I must get myself to these very 'British gardens'.
Lovely - I love eccentric English gardens, especially when there are shops attached! xo
