A busy day! As the advance team, I left early to explore the Mortimer Trail, a route I/we wanted to take tomorrow to Presteigne. It looks promising!
A bunch of ovines (OK so it is an adjective here being used as a noun because I cannot resist; you know, ovine/bovine, such great words ) who were lazing on the path until my coming along scared them away.
Upon my return at about 10:15, we headed out to Hergest Gardens, about a mile from our AirB&B. Up the hill we trudged, and were amply rewarded by much exquisiteness. I again refer you to alexandalexacrossamerica.wordpress.com for a proper account of the visit, but I cannot resist posting two favorite photos:
After the gardens, where one could happily spend a full day, not just the couple of hours we passed there, we were off to the Small Breed Animal Farm. Again, the blog of A and A will treat you to the details.
We were very domestic tonight, I, cooking broccoli, potatoes and onions, while Alex made a lovely salad with excellent produce bought down the street, and Alex doing the clean-up. We are all content!
