I'm thinking June time for Barnsdale. My garden should be full to bursting with plants by then, so I won't be tempted to buy more. unless of course it is particularly exquisite, at which point I will dig something else up to make a gap.
When you copy a link you have to click afterwards to make it change colour, then it works.
Lovely springlike photos Fairygirl.
I loved Geoff Hamilton too. Saw all his GWs late as we couldn't get English TV when we moved to France in the 80s. Easier with satellites. So sad when he died too soon. He did gardening for everyone, not just the better off and he made some super things using recycling and inexpensive materials. I loved his cottage garden ideas with flowers and vegetables together.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thanks, FG.....the slideshow would have had about a dozen or so likewise.....will try another day.
Geoff was on another level for me. I can honestly say that walking around Barnsdale one could almost sense the great man's presence...the birds are finger tame.

Fidget - count me in for Barnsdale - not far from MILs - might bring her along
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thanks, KEF.....tad irritating.
Not sure what month, Fidget, but it was a hot day, so I would guess June/July.
This shot from the same file indicates how sunny it was.

Lovely David

Beautiful place!
Do you remember his concrete rocks?
How many people nowadays would make something like that? Yet it was such a simple idea.
I'd probably do it right enough!

Just viewed your slide show David and Barnsdale is now on the list for a day trip out in the summer.

David, i think you should set up as their official photographer. Some of your pics are better than the ones on their website
