A real garden!

As it was a Bank Holiday, a warm day and a way of avoiding doing any gardening myself as I still feel shattered, I took Mrs. Woody off to Easton Gardens near Colsterworth in Lincolnshire to see the hard work of others in producing gardening magic. I thought that we had gone there last year but through the magic of being able to go back through this blog it was actually August Bank Holiday 2021! Click here for that post. Time flies! Anyway, despite it being nearly two years much was the same but much was different with a different season displaying itself in the garden. I do love those little spots where something has been created or there is just so much character.

Take a look at the gable end wall of this building. So much history with various builds, alterations and repairs. To build a model of that would require real skills - so I won't be building one!

This little bench set under trees with a few pots scattered around it just looks so simple but just so right.

 Then you have the bigger picture that is some view!

Going back to the character of the place there are these two metal giraffes that are welded up from metal sheet of all things!

 Then you get the oddities such as this rather tall post which seems to have no purpose.

But all is explained by this notice.

Then I came across something I did remember from the last visit - the robotic lawn mowers. This one, having completed a day of mowing, was on charge.

Maybe this is something that the Rocks By Rail Museum should invest in!

Back in the reality of the WMD HQ Estate the Italeri DAF 95 Canvas Truck cab has been rubbed down, washed and is currently drying thoroughly before going back into the spray shop, hopefully tomorrow.
