OK, thank you for making this new thread Maggi!
Here is the next (very easy) picture:

Luit van Delft, right in the heart of the beautiful flowerbulb district, Noordwijkerhout, Holland.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

That is right Ger! Long time since we heard from you   ;)
It was raining most of the day, so we drove to Harlow Carr where we at least could look inside the alpine house. Surprisingly we had more than an hour no rain after arrival there.Just after our stroll through the garden and outside the alpine house it started again pooring down ::) ::)

Here is the next picture I made two days later (raining again ::) )

Through which parts of England were you travelling? The garden party and single track road are quite unusual.
I can only give you a roughly impression on a map Anthony.
We drove about 4.400 kms in total!
In the Southwest we drove probably more single track roads, many with grass verges in the middle, than normal roads ::) ::) ::) :-X

Cornwall - hence the single track 'motorway' with high banks?

I cannot believe there is no one who doesn't know which garden this is. Come on Scots...  :o

There you see, a bit of stimulation was obviously needed ;D
So here are two more pictures, not difficult again. The first was made at the DW of course.
The second while driving southwards on Monday (hoping for better weather),  where we just missed a forumist who was there one day later.

I just looked back since putting the last pics here and noted that pics are clicked many times. But I didn’t realize that the last picture is a rather bad picture to see where it was made. (normally I don't click my own pictures here... :)
Here a few more and hopefully better ::)

Don't know where it is Luit but I like it and would like to see more of it.

Was it anywhere near sea-water, I know you really like sea-water :P

Aha! I think with these new photos I can guess where this is- though I have never visited.
I think this is the crevice garden built by ZZ with Ron Beeston, Alan Furness, John Page and others at the AGS Pershore Garden?

Indeed the pictures were made at Pershore!

Don't know where it is Luit but I like it and would like to see more of it.
David, now I start wondering who told me that he was in this garden a day after we were there  ???
Maybe this person just visited the office there where I meant to see  some good looking ladies when looking through the windows  :P :P :-X
and therefore forgot how the garden was looking.

Luit, I took Maureen to the supermarket yesterday (I know how to really treat a girl!!) and as she waited by the door I went to get cash from the cash machine. When I'd finished I walked in through the door and walked straight past her :-[
