Smelling the ragged roses
A bank holiday in the UK. So off this afternoon with Lorraine to Denmans Garden, near Fontwell. It is a four acre garden belonging to John Brookes who I learn is a renowned landscape gardener. And a beautiful garden it was too, very subtle and full of muted lovely colours and the wonderful aromas of roses and other fragrant flowers, and a few little ponds with bright damson flies around them.
Lorraine loves this sort of thing, and it's a pleasure to walk about with someone who is sniffing every flower and admiring the textures of everything. A really nice restaurant there too, and Lorraine and I had a nice fish based foods on a table under a tree. Very warm and sunny, till thundery clouds gathered and it was time to drive home.
Below Alium and poppies, a shot I took inside a poppy and some flowerpots.
