Great Dixter!



On Easter Sunday I went to my favourite garden in East Sussex, Great Dixter. The former home of writer and creative gardener Christopher Lloyd, the gardens are now in the very capable hands of Fergus Garrett.

Me and the old man.

Our Spanish guests.



It is impossible to be miserable in this gorgeous garden. Every vista is cleverer (real word?) than the last. Each 'room' is bordered by yew topiary which hosts peacocks (ish) looking on silently. Hurrah!

Sorry, they are squirrels.

During a rather extended drive there (google maps take note) we encountered steam engines, horse drawn carriages, masses of blue blue bluebell woods and topped it off with a magnificent castle. No, two castles actually.
