Rococo Gardens

Hot on the heels of my last snowdrop walk, I took a little drive out to Painswick Rococo Garden today with Dad.

Also about £6.50 to get in, and also masses of snowdrops. But includes some fairly funky follies.

Not much else to say except look at my pretty pictures :)


Picturesque Pan.

Sea of snowdrops.


Rococo folly.


View of the Gloucestershire countryside.


Water feature.


Lambs' tails.


Tree shadow.


Bathing pool.


Lady by the spring.

I learned a new word for all of this from reading D. H. Lawrence. Apparently it's 'bucolic' - meaning 'everythign nice and idyllic about the countryside', more or less. Unfortunately it sounds like a cross between bubonic and, well, colic...but still. Very pretty.
