Anglesey Abbey, April 2015.

Lovely photos Trunky. It's a place we keep meaning to go and see the winter lights.

 

Good afternoon @Trunky my friend lovely Location and photos

 

It's a lovely place to go to.

The winter garden is well worth the visit just on its own. It was designed and built by Richard Ayres CBE, now retired. He lives in the village by the Abbey and opens his garden for charity, in the summer. That's well worth the visit as well. There's usually four or five gardens open and are listed in the Yellow Book.

@Trunky have they finished digging out the herbaceous border. They were carefully removing all the plants so they could work on eliminating the bindweed.

There must be 400 or 500 foot of bed and 10-15ft deep.

 

@Trunky Thanks

Your comment and photo reminded me that I was wrong. We had chatted to one of the gardeners and he told us that they had, originally, thought to dig it all out but then decided against it. I then remembered I had taken a photo of this


Did you take a visit inside the mill? It's a working mill and they sell the flour they produce. It's not open all week but just a few days a week. You can wander round inside and climb up the ladders to the upper level. Although it's open for visits a few days a week I think they only produce flour infrequently.
