Off to the Botanical Gardens today. Since we failed to go to the ones in Oxford in all those years we thought we avoid that embarrassment and get to it right away. We were not disappointed! The gardens are spectacular and to our surprise entrance was free!
In a secluded corner of the gardens we stumbled upon the memorial to Queen Elizabeth, who was "a much loved Scotish lady".We learn something every day.
Beautiful roses there, and fragrant too.
One of our favourite parts where the greenhouses, in particular the tropical ponds. The large round "floating platters" are in fact giant leaves of a giant lily.
We have loads more photos but we can't possibly put them all on. Come and see for yourselves!
