Hope you all had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK. For once the weather was pretty good!
We ventured out on Sunday for my birthday treat to visit the beautiful gardens designed by Christopher Lloyd at Great Dixter.
The tulips were glorious, and I'll let the pictures speak for themselves............
Enjoy!
Am having a few computer problems at the moment (gnashing of teeth - is it gnash or just nash?)
Whatever, I like the word regardless of how it's spelt as it feels the right kind of satisfying word to describe my irritation and frustration at wasting my day today on the pc instead of being outside gardening or working on my latest sewing project - to be revealed soon I hope! )
Hope all well with you, and thanks for all your comments on my last few posts!
Happy birthday Gill! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, tulips have to be one of the most photogenic type of flowers.
I love the orange ones and the red ones look amazing among the forget-me-nots!
