Night/winter walks
Have spent quite a few quid on getting electricity around the garden, to my
buildings etc. As a result their are lights all around the garden. As you
can imagine, this can look quite magical at night or at dusk. In fact some
of my summer evening events have overrun to the extent that I have been
able to put the lights on at the end of the event.
We had our first winter walk just before Christmas 2008. It really was a foul
day and not for the faint hearted. We had a few cancellations giving some
"girls blouse" excuses about them having flu and the fact it was near minus
conditions with sleet to boot!! The rest of us soldiered on, retiring to
the summerhouse which is heated and had our tea and cake in there. It was
still very interesting I think for people to see the bare bones of the
garden minus some big leaves and a few tender plants. It was also the idea
to show off the "fleece free" nature of the garden as I always said it
was!!
