The spring weather has been so mixed. A few days of heatwave with Mediterranean temperatures, followed by cold spells that had me finding out the winter clothes that I had foolishly packed away. Then spells of rain so torrential that the garden resembled a quagmire. It's no wonder the plants are confused.
But taking advantage when the weather was warm and dry, we visited a National Trust Property, Attingham Park, a couple of weeks ago.

| One of the views of the surrounding countryside - the Wrekin, a distant hill is a famous landmark in the region. |
We enjoyed a guided tour of the organic walled garden, and spoke with some visiting bee keepers.
We sampled an afternoon tea in Lady Berwick's tea room.
We had a leisurely stroll through the deer park, and the woodland way.
Perhaps we should have stayed at home and gardened. The poor weather has returned, and we need some dry weather so that we can finish cutting the lawns at home.
