    Hi there chums. Last week (saturday) we went to Rosemoor, an RHS garden not far from Bideford. Unfortunately, it rained ALL day long :( Anyway, using umbrellla's we managed to get round ok. I managed to get a few shots of the place, and one of my favourite areas was the 'Rose and Shrub' garden. Herewith a few pics.

    I reckon we were there probably a week or two too early, there were masses of buds waiting to make a show. So, I'm going to go back there next year around the middle of June, should look fantastic :thumb:
    Mind you, the rest of the place aint bad either ! I would thoroughly recommend to anyone to go visit the place.
    Cheers...freddy.
