A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

The American Garden

 

Managed to finally get to visit this amazeballs garden this year having lucked out last year dur to Covid-19 and their obvious decision to not open under the weird circumstances.

Happily this year, despite a slight delay due to cold weather having delayed the blooms, they reopened the garden on the 8th May. We managed to get a visit in 23rd May, a slightly wet Sunday morning to begin with but the sun eventually decided to put in an appearance.

The garden primarily specialises in rhododendrons and azaleas and because of this is only open during the month of May at the weekends and two bank holidays. The garden gets it's name from the collection of Californian Redwood trees that also reside there.

Usually it's just me 'n' my girl who visit but this year we also took along my Dad and James. 

A wee bit muddy in places and some of the grounds seem to be naturally boggy even on a good day so the wellies were a necessity. 

Really good to be back in a favourite place and doing something normal :-)
