The gardens all sound lovely, I am obsessed with local villages that have open gardens day, it's becoming a popular church fundraiser around here. I love to buy little plants to bring home. We have visited some spectacular gardens last week including Hidcote and Kiftsgate, just blissful.<BR/>On the subject of hens, we fell in love with some in the garden of the posh B&B we stayed in near Cheltenham, both 'proper' hens and comedy little Bantams with frilly legs. Let me know how you get on because we're very tempted now!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378174162151683519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-68035782937515652562007-06-04T12:55:00.000+01:002007-06-04T12:55:00.000+01:00lovely elegant sounding day.

And by the way, I'm sure she wasn't laughing at you, but with you - becoming interested in gardening is all part of growing into adulthood (if that doesn't sound patronising). Sounds like you had a wonderful day.LITTLE BROWN DOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-79056642827214811112007-06-02T20:59:00.000+01:002007-06-02T20:59:00.000+01:00Oh, another perfect day by the sound of it - and w...Oh, another perfect day by the sound of it - and well-deserved too.

We have had all sorts of annoying problems but all seems to be sorted now (will I regret saying that!). Have just read through all your blogs to catch up and they are, as ever, wonderful. Never been to Bodnant but it is on my list. Your day with your daughter sounded precious and made me think of my own eldest, Lauren, who will be off to Uni soon. Desperately want to spend time with her alone and never seem able to. It is something I must address. Golly, sorry for overlong comment! xPipanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048984447721169350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-50594489136572527532007-06-02T17:36:00.000+01:002007-06-02T17:36:00.000+01:00Oh Elizabeth what a lovely day and your meal at th...Oh Elizabeth what a lovely day and your meal at the end sounds just like what I would like to eat.
