    If I ever visit Wales I'll be sure to go to the Cae Hir Gardens. Just the kind of place I enjoy spending time in.

    Thank you :D

    It really is beautiful.Apparently,Eileen,it is at its very best in Spring and Julie who now runs the gardens with her brother,makes wonderful cakes too! So you can spend as much time as you like there.

    Sjoerd the butterflies and bees were like clouds over some of the inula!

    Nice tour of the garden and interesting blooms and shapes,..then the tempting offer of nice cakes to top off the day,..that's very appealing.
