Last Hurrah

I go back to work tomorrow. And, while I am glad that my afternoons are no longer entertained by Jeremy Kyle double-bills, I shall be sad to forego my weekday visits to Wisley and the local garden centres, and to just get in my little car and drive. So on my last day of freedom, Friday, I had one last hurrah to Wisley, in the knowledge that all my future visits will be on overcrowded weekends.

This was the car park when I arrived at about 9:30.


It was, for a long time, just me and the RHS staff.


The grass border still looked absolutely magnificent.


It was an opportunity for me, without a bored Hubster in tow, to have a wander around a bit of Wisley I have never visited - the pinetum.


Take note, Royal Parks, this is a far better way of displaying winter colour than rows of municipal pansies.


Looking back down the rock garden, the sun was hitting the trees perfectly.


And I found the perfect book for my brother and future sister-in-law!


Hmm, having seen the state of my Alocasia and Platycerium perhaps I should get the book too!
