The Walled Garden

A visit to the beautiful gardens of Godinton House this afternoon for a Kent tourism industry networking event was slightly dampened by the weather. Grey clouds loomed as we arrived and the rain came down just in time for speeches.

And so a leisurely Visit Kent Garden Party with croquet on the lawn turned into a huddle in a marquee sheltering from the rain. Spirits remained high with tasty local Kent produce on offer and much positivity about the future for inbound tourism post EU Referendum.

I snapped a few photos of purple delphiniums and lily pads on the pond on my way in and spotted this pretty little door in the walled garden on my way out. A return visit (in the sunshine) is on my to do list for a day off soon!

Back at the cottage and the wool socks and jumper are back on. I'm ever hopeful that summer will make an appearance this weekend!
