Elford Hall Gardens

Where better for a quiet wander on a brilliant sparkly morning !

Just a few gardeners tending their allotments with such skill. They are so friendly and interesting.

I love sitting peacefully in the bird hide, or wandering with my camera.

A couple of skittish white butterflies, a rat who has managed to work out how to get inside a squirrel proof feeder, early echinaceas and a few peonies.....but my blip choice today has to go to the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly who returned to pose for me after I told it off.
