    Had a week in Wales last July.
    Ventured forward for a day trip to Bodnant Gardens.
    Wow. I was glad I did.
    It is on my list of return visits.
    Injoy a few pictures.

    Looks fabby. Bet their greenhouse didn't come cheap of eBay!

    I've always wanted to see the Laburnum walk there, bit of a hike from here though :(

    Your pictures remind me of a visit that Mrs Flinty and I paid to Bodnant two years ago. We could have sat in that ravine all day - a very special place. We even had a little robin who hopped up to us and made it very plain that he expected to be fed! So I'm afraid our emergency rations (a small packet of biscuits) had to be sacrificed in the interests of the local birdlife!

    Many thanks for posting.

    I like to visit Bodnant when the Rhodedendrons are in full bloom, the effect on the light is magical. Capney, your pics remind me that it's been too long since my last visit, must put it on my 'to do soon' list.
