Bodnant

  
First visit of the year to Bodnant Gardens - and it’s been worth the wait. 

Beautiful throughout the year, springtime may well see Bodnant at its best - and when you add blossom to a back cloth of snow-dusted hills, the result is magical. 

The weather is perfect - blue skies providing the perfect accent to display the pink magnolias at their best, and even the camellias are perfectly untarnished by any rainfall.  

Early bulbs are still in flower, hellebores still bloom, and across the meadows budding daffodils provide a golden promise of things to come over the next weeks. 

Apologies for the sizeable set of shots, but I just couldn’t choose!
