Hidcote

My lovely big brother is a trainee gardener at Hidcote which is a National Trust property in the Cotswolds. I recently went to visit him and took some really pretty pictures. I haven't taken many pictures of the flowers in the garden (not much of a gardener myself) but I would definately recommend a visit as the gardens are absolutely amazing. Its so easy to lose yourself at Hidcote and forget where you are in the world. They also have 2 piggies there who you must pay a visit to. I didn't take any snaps of George and Ernest but the grumpy pair are worth saying hello to. Also if you can spot Buster the cat make sure you say hi. Little attention seeker he is but such a lovely little (or rather fat!) cat.

Enjoy....(there are quite a few but I took so many and couldn't choose just a few!!)

A rather grumpy but quite lovely old race horse (I fed him a sneaky carrot and he let me scratch his neck!)

Lovely view







A little feathered friend come to munch the berries

This tree is amazing, its so big and beautiful (have to ask the gardener for the name of it?!)
