Morning all!
We saw a really interesting garden laid out by the Young Offenders Institution. They started it on the left, with some of the graffitti they had grown used to, and then the garden evolved to the right, ending with flowers showing how they had progressed:
Know what you mean about the pics, Lindy. By the time I finally get all my Scotland pics to post, i'll be two holidays behind! Still, posting summer holiday pics in November will make us all feel nice and warm.
We have three prisons within a couple of miles from here, (A low risk offenders prison, a young offenders prison, and an immigration removal centre). The young offenders prison always has elaborate garden displays along the roadside. Your pictures are lovely, Lindy.
I've saved the best till last.... this garden won a lot of awards, including the Best Large Garden overall. It was built by a company who specialised in water features, and they had managed to incorporate a lot of them into it, which made it very popular with the public - its pretty, too!
First pic shows how popular, as I had to elbow my way to the front to do photos...
Thanks, Mulberry!! I've been struggling to post pics ever since the Site was 'improved' !!
That's the last of the Flower Show - later on today I'll start on the pics of the Stately Home at Dunham Massey.
Lindy, I've really enjoyed your photos of the Flower Show - I look forward to seeing Dunham Massey.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Can I see Margo online? Hi, Margo - we've really missed you!
May I say that I have immensely enjoyed everyone's pictures that they have put on here and the other forums! You are all very accomplished photographers!
Thank you very much!!!
Bjane, it's nice to see you. I've really been enjoying the photography this year - Aquilareen has posted some beautiful photos of her travels and I love Lindy's photos of the Flower Show. This next capture got me really excited:
This is what the list looked like less than five minutes ago! Check out the fourth name.
