I went to Stody Gardens yesterday, luckily the weather stayed dry, if a bit chilly towards the end of the afternoon…

For once I was a passenger with Door-to-Door as I took up the offer of a spare seat, though I would love to go back again to see it and take my time and not have to rush.

Accessibility was an issue as a lot was on grass, even though it was flat. It was heavy pushing for some –I did help to push a wheelchair for a while but my shoulders started aching so I packed it in, as they still play me up from pushing Dad's wheelchair...

Tea n cakes were lovely … all homemade cakes, and the event was in aid of Alzheimer’s (the driver of the bus I was on has a reputation for making cakes and I was lucky enough to get a bit … yum!)

I took quite a few pics, the colours of the rhododendrons were amazing !




























There was a big van selling plants etc, and I couldn’t resist -  I came away with a patio tomato plant… it has quite a few tomatoes on it already, and when I got up this am I already had my first tomato… albeit a miniscule one that must have dropped off during the night lol

than999  Looks a lovely place,the photo's are wonderful.Amazing colours.

than999 great pics Liz

Glad you had a nice time Liz and the pics are lovely  and I bet that tomato was yummy  than999 coffee x

the photos are wonderful.  I was waiting to see what photos you took.
I went many years ago and someone had to push me in a wheelchair, so I know how uncomfortable it is to be in one, very bumpy.
I want to know, did you hear the cuckoo?

and thank you ever so much for sharing these photos. I will keep looking at them.

What a beautiful place. The gardens are amazing. No wonder you want to go back.

You are a lovely photographer Liz.

Thank you for a lovely serene start to Monday.

Bautiful photos 45'

Do not miss these lovely flowers

Beautiful pictures Liz.  I'd love to go there again - went several years ago, so if you want maybe we could go together, as I don't think I would want to take Paul there in his wheelchair.  Let me know if you fancy going together

Lovely to see these photos again, my Brother lives not to far from there, but he is moving at the end of the Month.

Lovely photos, great colours,  ju098  ju098

Door to door did have a trip there this year, which I didn't do this time, but they did tell me  the flowers had come out earlier than last year ..

Sheila, I will have a think and pm you later on TA.

I am thinking of going again this year on the bus, would anyone be interested in joining me?

Wish I lived nearer Wendy, I would love to go. It looks a lovely place to visit.
