Love a Duck









Sunday we went to Sheffield Park Gardens its a National Trust Garden south of Tunbridge Wells it was lovely and warm 21c so warm for us and the rain stayed away, these are just some of the snaps that I took, the plants in the foreground of the lake view are Gunnera, they die back each year and grow quickly in the spring with leaves over 2 meters in width and 3meters high, the stalks and the underside of the leaves are spiky, and the plants have large flower spikes , we have some of these plants in our garden by the pond but ours do not grow as big.

Sheffield Park is lovely at most times of the year but Spring and Autumn are by far the best.
