Nymans, Sunday morning, the sun is shining. Nymans is National Trust and we have been here before but part of the fun here is to watch the seasons pass through the gardens. Many of the NT houses close from November to Feb for the winter, but most of the gardens and, more importantly, the tearooms are still open.
Everything is still so green with bursts of autumn colour.
Do you do this as well? "Oh, Sheep!" And if there isn't anyone around, talk to them? Everytime you see sheep (horses, cows, pigs). They are very appealing.
There are still flowers to be seen. I don't actually know what these are but they look like Watsonias. What do you think?
Unknown, but very pretty.
Crinodendron Hookerianum - known as Chilean Lantern - for obvious reasons
This colour ...
I think this walkway is covered with Wisteria. Note to self, come back in spring, this will be magnificent.
The Messel family home which was destroyed by fire in 1947 and only partially rebuilt. The gothic ruin though, is a lovely feature of the garden.
Who knows? Why would you have a cage with a door and a seat in a garden? To protect you from something?
Winter larder for the birds ...
Tree ferns, to my surprise, I would have thought it would be too cold here, but obviously not.
Note how bundled up everyone is, the sun was shining but it was cold.
Somebody was busy with the hedge clippers. No dainty little topiary here, battlements and star wars characters rule ..
Time to go I think, when Dayne starts posing :)
