Photos from the Grange

I went to Southover Grange this morning, in hopes of getting some decent close-ups of the flowers there. I love wandering the gardens, though in a way I prefer it in winter, when there's actually water in the Winterbourne stream. There are lots of beautifully kept flower beds, as well as rare trees like a flowering tulip tree, mulberry, magnolia, and medlar. Of course, being the school holidays there were lots of people around today, so it wasn't as quiet as I had hoped! I'm pleased with what I got though ... here are the best photos ...
