no sea view

Today, Sun 14th we visit Fforde Abbey and Gardens. A C13 abbey, modernised and converted to A family home in the 1800s. Beautiful gardens, impressive house. Still a family home.

Theres a fountain, a straight up jet of water, twice a day. i wonder if river water is held in a tank, then the fountain is gravity flow. Its how i would do it :-)
The jet is massive, higher than nearby trees.
The gardens are blooming. There are some great big rhododendrum trees in full flower. Lots of other flowers.
Theres a bog garden, definitely boggy.
We eat in the cafe, weveral times. Cakes for morning and afternoon tea. Stuffed spuds for lunch -- spuds and salad are all from the gardens.
One cake is choc and cherry, black forest as it should be.

There are lots of narrow roads. Bnnnn etc. Im thinking, glad Deb is driving, this one is very narrow. Then two cars come from in front, to share the road.

Now we are home again,4pm. Lucky we have already seen the wea view, now it is mist. All the way up to mist blowing in the front garden.
