Really lovely pix. I love the reflections too - water's stunning when it's clear and glassy like that. I must admit the 'stepping stones' are my favourite, but I may have been tempted to just gently nudge nut on that one...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I must admit I nearly chickened out of the stepping stones - after my fall the other week I felt a bit 'vertiginous' but with encouragement and support from kind friends I conquered that hurdle
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
And the train journey there and back across the Cambridgeshire fens was great too. Wonderful cloudscapes. And in the morning I saw a heron, and a handsome cock pheasant perching on the top bar of a field gate staring at a beautiful barn owl who was perched on the gate post staring back at him. On the journey back I saw what I think was the same barn owl flying low quartering the fields in the dusk. Wonderful

Lovely photos Dove, I also loved the Rudbeckia and Aster Photo and although I'm not a red fan the passion flower was beautiful.

We had a lovely time, I had to leave a bit early as had people coming to dinner and wasn't feeling 100%. Here are some pics;
You'd need seriously long arms to trim the top of this hedge, it must be 3m wide.
loads of different grasses, like this

...and this.
Snoodle and I liked the spacious feeling between the trees.
This fountain was very beautiful.
Despite it being October there were still many flowers.
Such a photogenic tree, I know it's been posted already but I just can't resist it
The limestone garden was great, we must come in midsummer next time.

Would love to know what this is, the labelling is a bit ad hoc here.
