Those of you that follow me on Twitter will know where I have been today.
For those of you that read a lot of garden blogs – here is a clue
I spent a wonderful few hours visiting Elizabeth at Welsh Hills Again and could have spent days gazing at the play of light on “her” mountains
It was beautiful – even though it was not a glorious spring day with sunshine, but rather grey with the promise of rain before long.
We had a lovely time – I met some of the other residents,
The peacock was rather camera shy
The cockeral, however, knew that he was just the bees knees and very, very, handsome.
Actually all Elizabeths chooks were lovely to look at, and it was a real treat to watch them scratching around the garden.
Whenever I see chickens – I always want to have them here – but as Elizabeth so sensibly pointed out, I dont really have anywhere to keep them.
I am going to work on pursuading my neighbour to have some in her field – then I could go and visit them every day.
Elizabeth gave me a great lunch – with the most wonderful chocolate brownies for pudding
And we spent our time chatting about this and that – but as is the way of gardeners, coming back time and again to gardens and plants.
It was lovely to hear about the ethos behind Elizabeths plans for her land and her garden.
And so nice to visit it during the early days, when the trees and hedgerows that she has planted are still youngsters.
(I also got to take a piece of brownie for the car journey home!)
