    I am hopefully going to look at the 20 or so gardens that are open in Upwey today. It only costs £3 so is a real bargain and some places sell plants and others have cream teas yum yum. Hope it stops raining. It starts at 2pm and finishes at 6pm. I'll post some pics later if I get some :hehe:

    :( I usually go aswell, but his mum has just moved so he is going to put lights up for her etc etc, plus she is struggling in the new place being on her own since OH dad died, so it was best for him to go on his own this time.

    Although I wont miss being stuck in the car for 3 1/2 - 4 hours each way. Traffic down there is always horrible this time of year!

    I will probably go tomorrow depending on the foot (still not quite right), we usually go to a local village open day each year, it might be better weatherwise.:)

    Well we got really soaked and I only managed to take 2 pics because I didn't wanna get OH camera wet and I spent too long in the Manor as I used to live there and I had a look round the house too. Some gardens shut and we couldn't have a cream tea as they had shut early too. Most disappointed. If i knew I could get from the train station to the gardens and back I'd catch the train down today and see the rest lol.
