    Back home now after a great weekend away - fantastic weather to be beside the seaside & the storms were quite exciting too! Crab, ice cream & beer were all as good as I remember.

    The garden was beautiful & inspirational and the company was exceptionally good - 5 such lovely, friendly people - feel as if I've known you all for years, not a few hours.

    Artjak has done a wonderful job of capturing the the beauty & the essence of the garden & little Panda clearly enjoyed her travels!

    Will try to upload a couple of my pics when I've finished unpacking.

    Meantime a really huge thanks to the 5 of you who made for such a great afternoon.

    When's the next one?....

    Having problems uploading pics this pm for some reason - never mind Artjak has covered most of them better than me anyway! Particularly loved the wild flower meadow which was absolutely stunning and the log huts - OH has been shown the photos so he knows how I would like my logs stacked next winter (please). 

    Panda will be disappointed that I haven't been able to upload my movie of the wild flower meadow with her wind blowing sound effects in the background image

    Beth Chattos is good for me too....
