Sorry for being so silent of late - I have been on the road and saw plenty of gardens but haven't really had time to post. In the last month I visited Mottisfont, where the national collection of historic roses is housed, twice - once when my parents were on their annual visit (which was a bit too early) and today, so I thought I post the photos from these visits to show the massive change that can happen to a garden in three weeks. As an interlude I am also posting photos from Spinner's Garden, a privately owned woodland garden in the New Forest, where I visited last weekend on one of my trips to the seaside.
Much love,
Qaroline
