Lord Rothschild's garden

Today John and I spent a few hours walking around Exbury gardens.The gardens are famous for the collections of Rhododendrons,Azaeleas and Camellias. They are at their best at this time of year and again in the autumn. We were given free tickets today to go back in the autumn! I wish you could have joined us for the walk. The air was heavily perfumed and although the sun wasn't shining it was dry and warm. The gardens were busy because it is a holiday weekend here, but we were still able to escape and spend a few moments on our own.
Exbury allows dogs in if they are on a lead so Raffles and Missy were with us and they enjoyed all the attention they got from many of the other visitors.
It was a very enjoyable morning and we are looking forward to returning in October to see the autumn colours.
