| Statue in the garden |
A bit of nostalgia; Last Saturday was
World Naked Gardening Day, now I do not think many people actually participated, especially in this country but it gives me a break from Election day and to go back a few years when we wandered round the gardens of a house in Malmesbury next to the abbey, where the owners did in fact work naked in summer and are famed for it, in fact I saw a photo of him on the net a couple of days ago.
It was a very hot day and this was my first digital camera, and a lot of the photos have my thumb in them sadly, but not a bad camera till it succumbed to sand in its innards, must have been to the sea side.

| Is that a Norman arch from the Abbey? |

And if you want a moral story to come out of this, the couple at Malmesbury Abbey House
divorced last year, not often you get to write 'divorced naked gardeners' ;)
No Thelma. I suppose married, fully clad ones are far more numerous.
ReplyDeleteThat garden is really something though. Those large herbaceous beds with things like phlox are splendid - and there is nothing like water for adding drama. Beautiful photographs.
Strange how different cameras catch things, I remember it was very hot and the sharpness of that camera is almost as good as my latest...
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! "Divorced naked gardeners"! Perhaps all that publicity about their bare bods aroused a bit too much public interest.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, I suspect they must have put some clothes on in winter, and as for pruning roses?
