We spent a delightful day on Sunday at Barrington Court in Somerset, a lovely Tudor pile rescued from dereliction in the 1920’s. The gardens were then laid out in the “themed room” manner of Gertrude Jekyll, with a white garden and a glorious “hot” garden. Despite the date, roses were blooming enthusiastically and the borders were still full of colour, as you can see. It was like inhaling the last of the summer’s warmth and beauty.

    Beautiful, Judith… that last fall burst of color before winter swings in to view. I like your lichen project, too. The colors are wonderful!
