Visit to Kiftsgate Court Gardens - September 21st 2022

Last week my friend Anne from Sweden was over and we went to stay with some mutual friends near Stratford upon Avon at their pelargonium nursery.  On Wednesday our friends took us to Kiftsgate Court Gardens, another garden I have wanted to visit for a long while.   I was not disappointed, despite summer being over and we are nearly into autumn.   I could appreciate how lovely the gardens would be in summer with beautifully scented rose beds.  

In the beautiful Cotswold county of Gloucestershire, Kiftsgate Court Gardens is the creation of three generations of women, from the 1920s to the present day; each generation putting their own style and touch on the gardens.   It was a wonderful visit.













Ths is what was at the top of the hill - Roger took our photo






I tried to capture the water from the leaves.  It's obviously on a timer of sorts as it was just starting to trickle as we were leaving this part of the garden.















oooOOOooo

The Morris Dancers in Horsham - May 2023

Image
 We should have guessed when we saw some of the Morris Dancers at the Park and Ride bus stop,but we were not prepared for the large number of Morris Dancers gathered outside the Lynd Cross pub in Horsham.    We went in for coffee and watched even more dancers gathering before groups of them dispersed around the town.    Morris dancing is an English folk dance first recorded in 1448.   The dance is based on rhythmic stepping by a group of dancers, often wearing bells on their knees or shoes.  Sticks, Swords, or handkerchiefs are also wielded in tune with the music. This was obviously well organised as the groups of Morris Dancers moved around the town all morning performing their own particular dance.    These are just a few photos I took on my iPhone as we came across them . The drummers were fantastic. More soon --------------------------
