Writing this on a very snowy and freezing 1st March when the entire country is held in the grip of either "The Beast from the East" or "Storm Emma", it hardly seems possible that we had a warm sunny day in January. But we did, and Brian and I decided to take advantage of the sunshine and visit the RHS Gardens at Wisley. We visited the glasshouse just before the Butterflies were all released in the glasshouse. We have visited at this time before and always seem to see several varieties before the crowds descend on Wisley. Brian in silhouette .
