I saw Kingston Lacy on a tv special presented by Alan Titchmarsh. I heard there was a Japanese Garden as well as some others, so we headed over to Somerset to explore. As expected, the annual beds were not in place but we enjoyed a few perennial borders. We quickly found our way to the natural fern woodland and had a rest on a bench and snapped some photos. Afterwards we took the long way through a field and the woods and eventually discovered the Japanese Gardens (closed due to narrow pathways) but a tiki hut overlooking a field, surrounded by bamboo gave us the much needed rest from the hot sun at the end of July 2020.

Husband and I finally felt safe enough to venture out in the great outdoors! Jamie and I had a lovely visit at a nearby stately home and garden, Hinton Ampner, just east of Winchester, England.
. Social distanced and no indoor buildings were open.
