    Showered, dressed, brushed my hair, recycling bins done, frogs shepherded along the path away from the road, plants packed, beach towel and sun hat at the ready, camera batteries charged, water bottle found .......................... anything else I need to do or can I sit down and have a coffee?

    Wow, what a day! It was so lovely to meet Supernoodle and Topbird for the first time and then there was Dove, Nut and the wonderful Pandaimage So I will upload a few of the 120 photos I took. These people who started this garden SERIOUSLY know about containers/huge flower pots. But also, they have almost created a micro-climate by growing huge hedges, that somehow don't cut out the sunshine.

     Nut and I on our way there stopped at the most magical wild flower place; didn't have time to see the gardens, but Nut bought some plants. We were pretty impressed with the place and pic above is the name.

     They have loads of hydrangeas, not usually a favourite of mine, but their choices were very good and beautifully placed.

     Topiary figured largely.

     Some splendid walls, gates and views

     Weird red things, Nut or Dove can name them

     This garden has a very Italian/French Riviera
