Autumn...... it is time to travel in England

Colourful trees, changing leaves in Autunm in Nymans Gardens Autumn is one of these moments when you can see the "glass half full or half empty".
I think it is half full !

The trees start to lose their leaves and the whole place can look quite sad and messy ..... but it is also the time when nature presents us with an explosion of intense colours.... from deep reds to orange and green, it is just amazing.

It is a good time to travel and enjoy the wonderful scenery.

This year we have been to Nymans Gardens, few places in Somerset and a Nature Reserve.

Everywhere was beautiful, but Nymans Gardens has to be the winner. I think I have never seen red trees like there.


At the same time, the recent rain in the south of England made the lawn a vivid green, creating beautiful contrasts.


In Lacock Abbey, the red Lacock Abbeyfoliage over the walls made it all look more vivid.... and it was a splendid day, with beautiful blue sky. Inside the abbey, they were playing a movie - a record of a party they had in there many years ago - in the main hall the music was on, in the games room they had background record of people playing music and games, in the great hall the fireplace was lit, leaving the smell and heat play with our imagination .... it helped me imagine what it would be like to live in such a wonderful place, with all those gardens at your disposal.

Just imagine the wonderful parties they enjoyed there!
