Had a lovely day out at http://rhs.org.uk/wisley gardens today. The sun was shining at long last and the area around the lake was looking gorgeous, with the displays of coloured stems of Cornus and Salix glowing like bonfires.
The best bit for me though, was the witch hazels in full flower in the woodland.
I don't know why but the spidery tassels of flowers always remind me of food - no doubt, some exotic shredded garnish I've been presented with at a restaurant in the past. Does anyone know what the food might be? Anyway, the delicious scent matches the delicious appearance, and there was much sniffing going on, and much mouth watering. So much so, that I ended up in the tea shop ( what a surprise) where I bumped into some old friends (what a surprise!). A jolly good time was had by all.
