We really have had a run of very bad weather although the garden was looking quite good when we were last there at the beginning of June (it has rarely stopped raining since). I agree with your remarks about the House Brian we haven't been in it for a couple of years at least.

We did make comment when we went to Montecute (full of treasures) in the afternoon for only £1 more.  I thought that as three rooms were totally taken up by the Gormley exhibition we should have had a discount - you couldn't even cross the threshold ::) Other gardens we visited were very good - even though they had had the same conditions, the only one being problematical was Lytes Cary where sections had been roped off because of the sodden turf.  We thought Burrow Farm Gardens near Axeminster was well worth a visit, have you been?

Yes, nice garden. We normally go in early spring to see the Primulas.

So you did David, my mistake, sorry.

Trying to catch up with photo processing these are a few from our late June visit just a few weeks after David's photos were taken and it shows what a difference a month makes early in the season.
