Visiting Wisley

I have spent the weekend up in London with Paul and Chloe. It was lovely to see them and I was so grateful that Paul met me at London airport and helped me on the Heathrow express. I am really exhausted after the flight etc. and not at all well so I have suggested that since they are working all this week I will go to to Sutton and stay with Frances until Thursday.

Both Paul and Chloe have taken Friday off and since it is the May long weekend this will give us a full four days together. We are planning to go to Canterbury on the Friday. So here I am now in Sutton and today Frances and I have decided to go to the Royal Horticultural Society's gardens at Wisley.



This is the entrance area to the gardens. The house is in the tudor style and the gardens are quite extensive. It was interesting to find so many australian plants here but of course since UK have also been experiencing water shortages there is a widespread interest in waterwise plants. There are also fairly extensive plantings of Rhododendrons which are presently in flower - I liked the scarlet ones
