Walk to Walkden

On Tuesday I wandered down the road with Millie to Walkden Gardens which is just at the end of our road and has had quite a lot of work done over the past couple of years. The red circle on the map below is the location of the gardens and we live on the road straight down from there.

We had a lovely walk around and, as usual, Millie liked all the bits underneath the plants, trees and benches better than those silly flowers her lady likes so much. However, and rather to my amazement, we also found that there is a wisteria arch now, within Walkden Gardens and that it is in full flower.

Now Lou would argue that I should have had my camera there. But I am not that organsied, so I had to go home to get it and return yesterday to take some pictures. In fact the weather was grumpy on Tuesday but beautiful yesterday, so this was not such a bad plan. It also meant Millie got to go back under some plants yesterday, so she was fairly happy with that.

Then last night I attempted to upload some pictures but this computer was playing up. It has a tendency to forget all about all of its drives, late on in the day, presumably when hot and tired. It then needs a reboot to remind it where it left said drives. But I was a little hot and tired myself, so it has taken all the time till now for me to finally get some pictures up. But I hope you'll agree, worth the wait.
