OL - I love them too - especially that set of gallopers - I've been on them many times - it's local to where I lived when my children were young - I think that yesterday was just too hot and there was ice cream to be eaten

Oh, it's called Foggy Bottom because it's down the slope from where Alan Bloom lived - it used to be water meadows and he would look across there from his house and it the mist would be gathered there - as it does - I think it sounds rather romantic, in a whimsical sort of way

I wish I could have gone. I love from your pictures the way they have used the trees like enormous flowers, balancing the different foliage colours and textures. I am planning stuff with trees here - never really gardened with them before, so it's a whole new area of fascination for me. OL, I would have joined you on those horses. And in the ice cream. Artjak - could you do Barnsdale? Not sure what there is in mid-Lincolnshire. We went to Doddington Hall the other day, which is quite nice, but SO many weeds, I almost wanted to start picking them out meself!
