As Alison had a few days holiday, we decided to visit some gardens before the autumn set in. We had not been to one of our favourites, Waterperry, for over a year. It was a lovely day, sunny but not too warm. The gardens were still spectacular including the hot bed in the picture above. We visited the tearooms twice for lunch and afternoon tea. Very nice. I bought two Penstemons and a Viburnum. Their plants are so good, I could have spent a fortune.
The next day we were going to find The Savill Garden near Windsor. Unfortunately, when we arrived we found it was closed because of the foot and mouth that had had just been discovered at Egham. So all that way and we had to turn round. We were getting very hungry as we had expected to have some lunch as soon as we arrived at the gardens. So we were heading for Cliveden and stopped at a Starbucks we knew near Dorney Lake. We felt a lot better when we arrived at Cliveden and we did enjoy the walk around the gardens.
