A winter garden on our anniversary

Today is our wedding anniversary so we decided to have a little trip out to Dunham Massey in Cheshire.It is a NT property and last year they opened their winter garden.We have been to the NT winter garden at Anglesey Abbey near Cambridge which is spectacular.The winter garden at dunham is in it's infancy and a little delayed by the recent severe weather.
Poor ducks scrabbling around on the ice.

I am sure this was even more spectacular a few days ago.


Red cornus alba stems.



Silver birches.




Hydrangeas and ?





An amazing tree.







The Well House.

We had a lovely trip out and then ate out locally tonight.Just settling down now to watch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

  3. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary. It's ages since we've been to Dunham Massey. Hope you enjoy the film I've read all of the Millenium Trilogy books - I wonder what the films will be like?
