I think the others have summed it up perfectly, and like Nut, I have enjoyed doing the tour all over again!! We have just got the internet back after an 'outage' which has meant I have now done no work for two and a half days on the trot . But, being offline has had the happy result of my planting up all the lovely gifts I was given. Of course, I wasn't able to google them for size/spread, but I thought I should just get them in and well watered, and think about design later, as long as they are all okay, I can move them as and when!!
Yesterday was Compost master's Conference; today a Compost Event just North of King's Lynn, so have not been able to come onto the forum. Glad so many people took pics of the gardens; they were pretty wonderful. BusyB, am so pleased you have ordered Lady Hamilton Rose, I loved the bronze foliage. Am trying to figure out where I could fit her in
Artjak, I haven't told Mr Bee yet . Am waiting for the right moment which should come some time between now and November when the bare root roses arrive!
Such lovely photos. Barnsdale looks a very inspiring garden which is now on the list of places to visit. Glad you all had a nice time - you had a lovely day weather wise too.
Great pics Dove. Brings a lump to my throat seeing the things Geoff made, is it really all those years ago? I am assuming they are the original things that have been painted and looked after.

An assortment of colour and texture combinations at Barnsdale and a few familiar bits of architecture etc
This last one's for Punkdoc - to prove that he's not the only one to support his plants a wee bit later than is ideal
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Lovely pics Dove, thank you for sharing. Love the hostas and the water thingy. And the tiny summer house, well all really. Glad you had a great time.
