We went today, arrived as it opened, Great, there was hardly anyone there so got lots of pictures with no people in them.

Very good work Eric.
Was that all with your new camera?
Borders look very interesting and good to see there is so much colour at this time of year.

Ive bought another (replacement) Artemisia of that name. Previous ones last about 2 3 years, grow quite large and woody and then die off when I try to prune them. The delicate silver leaves of A. Powis Castle is lovely beside my Acer dissectum atropurpureum in the front garden.

P.S. Do they have little people on that estate ;D

I enjoyed your photos of Powys Castle, Eric. We have been there a couple of times, a long time ago when I took masses of photos. For some reason I thought I had uploaded them to "Gardens to visit in the UK" but on checking I see that I didn't. I probably put them on Flickr instead.
