Bredonborough Too cold for morning
18.01
Bredonborough.
Too cold for morning coffee & reading by the back door, but warm enough for our second day of the year in the garden. Sunshine & blues skies alternated with grey storm clouds, some rain & windy blasts, but time enough to enjoy a garden rapidly coming to life.
View to Bredonborough Abbey…
Plane tree over the garden wall…
This wonderful, powerful & benign presence is actually 3 plane trees planted together, c. 1770, to grow as one. Three of four gardens down, behind the street’s major house (with a genuine Adam room, presumably from when
Adam worked at nearby
Croome Court) This is one of the few remaining areas where mistletoe continues to be well established…
Contemplative Wife…
Contemplative Wife and Ducks…
A walk down to Bredonborough Bridge and along the other side of the Avon, opposite our garden end, and then back; a sufficient snapping of the whipcords to continue rebooting the flagging Fripp animal.
New bookshelves continue to be dressed with old & new friends. The Study is coming together very well.
