An echo of the past

A few years ago I went to Easton Lodge. I explained that the gardens almost disappeared.

Last year the garden had to close to the public and I thought that was it. The Easton Lodge trust has opened it again this year but only once a month. A good idea erhaps since there were loads of visitors today.














A sundial.

















Alas little has really changed in two years. I deeply admire the efforts of the volunteers but unless someone with the funds comes forward the Gardens of East Lodge will remain just an echo.

  4. I love the first statue. It's charming. I don't suppose you can get that car to me, can you? I suppose that's asking a bit too much...sigh! Love the pictures.
