Astrantia

Today, we visited the Beth Chatto Garden, and amazingly, despite severe temptation, we came away empty handed.  Though with lots of photos and thoughts.  Although we've visited a number of times, we always seem to see something new.

Today, we particularly noticed the astrantia, they would make a lovely addition to any garden.  We were also taken by the yellow crocosmia - aptly named Norwich Canary.

Afterwards, a gentle drive back through Dedham took us past a rather splendid church in Stratford St Mary, (see extra) though reading about it, I gather the inside is excessively "Victorianised"
