A Life Time Adventure - Garden Visits.

Visiting old houses and gardens seems to be a favourite pastime here. We been to a few of these places and did a lot of walking. I think we had walked as much as we would had done for two years back home in this short time since we arrived. The gardens were beautiful and were in different stages of spring.
