Gardens across the Ocean

Right at this time, several years ago, Jim and I travelled to the UK to check out their gardens. The tulips below
Edinburgh Castle were spectacular.

We had to travel to St. Andrews. Not many flowers on the golf course, but the grass was green. It was a beautiful sight, and so thrilling to see that ancient course.

I'd always dreamed of Cornwall. You know the steep, winding roads and all the beautiful wild flowers that grow in that part of the world. It didn't disappoint. I'd like to have explored forever. I could just feel Maxim and Mrs. deWinter wandering around the village.

And then Bath and the cotswolds. As I took pictures of the greenery and the flowers I just knew I would come home and recreate these charming English gardens. (HA, who am I kidding? I live in a desert!)

Well I can dream.
