Today Tracey and I went to the Painswick rococo gardens again.
In April they were full of bluebells and it was a sunny spring walk.
Today the gardens were a riot of Colour and attracting all sorts of insects. We saw several species of bee and entry of butterflies.
This time we dipped our feet into the plunge pool to cool off, and it was freezing!
I can't imagine any sane person wanting to swim in water that is always 12 degrees. I guess it would be refreshing?
We set up a blanket by the pond to read our books and make the most of the day in the sunshine.
After 30 minutes we were besieged by ducks. They tried to eat Tracey's shoes.
So we headed into the woods for a cooler, quieter reading space.
We had a go on the swing and we had sushi for lunch at one of the picnic tables. Technically the garden prohibits picnics, but actually what they're trying to stop is lazy People leaving plastic/rubbish in their space.
Take food in tupaware. Take bottles of water (the type you refill) and there's no issue.
This means that the watermelon cool bag has had another outing. I'm still very sure it was a good purchase.
The gardens shop was selling produce today along with plants and their own apple juice. 😁
