Fruitcake Folly Gardens grand tour
The sun was shining and the birds were singing, so I thought I would take my trusty camera on a tour of our back garden.I hope you like it.
Uncle Tom's rose, planted in memory of my Lovely Cousin's Great Uncle Tom.
Hydrangea behind a water feature I made from half a brandy barrel and an old water pump my parents used to have in their garden as an ornament when I was a kid.
Picnic area under an Amish style gazebo I made about sixteen years ago, with cannon and tractor seat I made from wood. The picnic table and swinging seat were shop bought though.
One of our favourite spots to sit and relax, next to a replica George the sixth post box.
Looking towards the Southeast corner with a bench seat painted in GWR colours.
The Gardener's potting shed and wood store.
View looking back towards the mansion house from behind the bench seat.
A tranquil corner with water feature made from another old pump and stone trough used as ornaments in my parents' garden.
Looking towards the west wing.
Looking North across the whole of the estate.
Two of our residents, Fred and Freda.
My workshop and the replica George the sixth post box I made from wood and glass fibre resin castings.
View from the western boundary.
