And today we went to visit Trillium's new nursery. She won BBC Gardener of the Year in 2005 I think it was (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) and her nursery was on TV recently. It was absolutely beautiful, she gave us a guided tour and I bought some GORGEOUS plants from her ;D

Ooops sorry Trillium - I'm adding years to you already!!! Thanks for putting me right LL - I didn't think I'd seen it last year  I'm not sure I'm ready for GOTY yet but you never know - one day we might. It has been discussed before Sorry Aprilaydee I didn't realise you were THAT close - we could have met you at the gardens. Mind you, you would have had to put up with the two sprogletts as well as M and me!!!!! ;D It's a BIG garden Chuckles, perhaps more than I could manage! Still with money and staff....... ;D ;D ;D |

I could've met you near the castle or near the great orme too LOL you were about half a mile away from me where you took your photo of the castle!
And I'm sure "putting up" with you all would have been no trouble at all!
My parents went to Bodnant last week with their national trust passes they have. They said it was stunning.

Cracking pictures Mrs P! It looks like you had a lovely day out...
Sorry Aprilaydee - we'd love to have met you, I'm sure, but I had no idea you were so close! I think we might be going back... wanna come?
And NO LL, I'm definitely not up for GOTY this year, but I'm not ruling it out for next year when I might actually know something about gardening... don't hold your breath for me making it through the selection process though!

Yes, Bodnant is a fantastic garden. Have been there several times during N Wales holidays. Have always wanted to see the laburnum arch in flower so thanks for that.

) LP and I went to visit Margi for a couple of days, and yesterday we all went to Bodnant Gardens, near Conway in North Wales. We managed to miss most of the rain and had a lovely day out - if you are up that way for any reason I can tell you that these NT gardens are well worth a visit, but put on your walking shoes because you will be up and down a steep hillside! We didn't have time to see the whole garden, but I mean to go back again and see the rest, sooner rather than later! Here's a few photos so you get an idea of the place:
Nice photos by the way!
