Sally-Part 118. HOWICK HALL IN NORTHUMBERLAND NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME !

It's only a forty minute drive from here to one of the most extraordinarily beautiful gardens in the world and here are some photos I took there a couple of weeks ago !

This magnificent creature looks like it's got a witches hat on but just look at those amazing antennae !

And here they are again as large as I can make them ! Go on someone, without mentioning God, explain them to me !

Wherever you look !

Nature's having a laugh isn't it ?

Do many people look closely at a Hydrangea ?

Splendour in the Bog Garden

As you can tell from the shadows, we left our visit 'til late so that the tea room would be empty ! I did not know  this lady !

And the light's just right ! Bugger ! There she is AGAIN !

Thing wouldn't get out the way !

You've got to remember to look up as well !

A bit blurred but I was a bit overwhelmed by it all !

For goodness sake !

And this !

And don't overlook the humble little weeds !

And finally, this is for the gardener who shouted at me on another visit when I HAD NOT stepped on his flower bed..." THIS IS YOU THIS IS ! "
