    Gardens and Pretty Places we have visited

    I've been to Hever a few times I used to live in Kent before moving to France, but I've been more recently too. It's expensive but I'm an RHS member for visiting the gardens.

    Loads more here too this year, way more than the last couple of springs. Noticed them clustering around the rose buds already which is perfect timing honestly, the aphids were just starting to show up. The warm February probably helped them come through winter in better shape than usual.
