These were taken close to home - in/around Westbury-on-Trym and in our garden. Westbury-on-Trym These are from various places around Westbury-on-Trym - including the back of the shops, a path near the golf course and Westbury Wildlife Park (which isn't quite as grand as it sounds). These were all taken in our back garden, mainly during August - I had been offered a new job and the weather was great, so I spent most of the month sat outside. I was quite taken with the sunlight shining through the phormiums, and we had some very nice lillies. There are two at the end of a hailstorm and frost, while the last one is the back garden of our neighbours 3 doors down. I'm not a fan tbh....

Having said that the weather on the Friday was awful, it was in parts. Fortunately we had decided to head to the north coast, and ended up at Bodnant Gardens - the weather had cleared up as we passed (we were originally headed for Penryn Castle because some of it was indoors) so we decided to go in. And what a good decision that was - one of the best gardens I've been to. Thoroughly recommended. It's made up of several levels. At the top, there's a fairly traditional formal flower garden With more butterflies! Below that, there's a rose garden, then there's this lily pond And below that, there's *another* lily pond And then below all that, there's a path through the woods, with a stream. And a particularly photogenic waterfall....
