We only went out to the dentist's.......

.....but we ended up at Dunham Massey garden again! 
I am such a fickle being with my affection for gardens - I have come to the conclusion that the garden I love most is the one I am in at the time!!!
Last week I was convinced that Alnwick was the most beautiful and back on May 3rd it was Dunham! Five weeks ago it was Kew and after that it was the gardens in Parc Montsouris! We hope to visit Sizergh  Castle again soon and I know I will love that too!
The Dunham garden has changed so much in 3 weeks, the sun was shining and I loved it!

We saw a little rabbit eating petals as they fell off the tulips.

 This Hawthorn bush is huge!!

 The ferns have all unfurled

I only know this as the handkerchief tree, because of the way the flowers form!

 One of my favourite views!

These remind me of little bonnets - they are called Silene Fimbriata.

 This guy walked into my long view

 There were plenty of volunteer gardeners around but we think it must have been lunchtime!

 A duck family kept us entertained for a while!

 The opposite end to the little moat - standing on the narrow bridge!

 The vegetable garden is being planted up

As I may have said last time - another favourite view!

 Back to the entrance!
If you want to compare the changes you will find my 3rd of may post here

I have another journal page - in my small journal.

I used some infusions sprinkled deli paper that had been used as under paper, a piece of stained (can't remember what with!)book paper,a Dina Wakley woodcut flower, a bird cut from some scrapbooking paper and some numbers - all from one of my scrap bags - I added a few doodles!

I would like to link to Art Journal Journey for Jo's 'Flora and Fauna' theme and also Moo Mania and More - Even More Flowers!

Thanks for looking, Chris
