    You were in my manor Woo! :) I hope you had a lovely day. You can get very delicious ice creams in the park!

    That park is one of my favourite places in the world. Ive spent hours rolling down the hills, cartwheeling down from the Observatory and Im a member of a local Rowing club. I went to school a heart beat away from there, in fact my prep school class and I were firmly asked to leave the Maritime Museum after a particularly raucous game of 'it.'

    Did you go for lunch/ dinner in the town centre? Or picnic in the park?

    Oh Woo a wonderful place to go.! It looks like you were blessed with plenty of colourful blooms too.. You must have had a wonderful time walking around looking at them all.. Did you see a new rose that you now have to get..? :D Thanks for sharing Woo...

    I have not been to the rose garden but used to know the Park well many years ago.. Didn't roll down the hills like you Melinda :hehe: but spent many happy hours there..
