Rodmarton
In February 2014, Family Teague visited Rodmarton Gardens, 6 miles west of Cirencester in Gloucestershire, in celebration of Word-Bird's birthday. We'd heard that the snowdrops were rather spectacular; and so they were. But the entire garden was pretty amazing too. Perhaps I'll post just one photo at a time, starting with this gateway between sections of the garden. Snowdrops to follow!

Having negotiated the gateway, the party made towards the main house; and here, we came across some snowdrops... :>)

Fliss - the gateway is lovely - the colours are beautiful. As you know, I know very little about photography, so I can't comment with any kind of intelligent critique - but the colours are beautiful.
(also apologies for brevity and not being around much - I've been floored by a horrible summer flu/cold and simultaneously commissioned for 10 (!) images, so it's a bit frantic).
Actually, your door image was the perfect antidote to frantic. Long-drawn out time, beckoning, slightly decrepit sense of antique wonder. Just the thing. A bit 'Secret Garden'.

Thanks, Sarah-Jane; I love the gateway and the colours too :-)
No need to apologise; I'm sorry about your summer flu/cold and I hope you're able to power through to manage all those commissions. W.-B. and I wish you well :>)
Yes, there is something about that image. There was certainly something secretive about the garden. At least at the time we visited, Rodmarton wasn't a National Trust property and its owners had rather let the decrepitude take root. That theme will come up in further photos. Please just pop in when you can; we'll keep posting and we'll complete with a poem, which we set to a little tune :>)
Best wishes,
Fliss & W.-B. :>x

The party continued their wanderings, coming across, first, this match-ready tennis court,
and, second, this highly inviting swimming pool,

A study in angles,
and more snowdrops, with interesting backdrop of an enormous urn,
