Oh to be in Hidcote in the Spring......

One of the first open days in a National Trust treasure - Hidcote Gardens, the inspiration of American-turned-Brit Lawrence Johnson. Tucked away in the north Cotswolds, this truly is one of England's great gardens:

One of Hidcote's many 'rooms' 

Magnolia's, in their all-too-brief splendour, everywhere.

Now that's just bragging!

And trees galore......
