| Louise, Elaine and Kay plot a route to see the best gardens |

| In my dreams my garden looks like Margaret's! |
Sunday was my idea of a PERFECT DAY. For a start, the weather was ideal - one good thing about our miserable English weather is that we sure do appreciate a hot, sunny day. My good friend Jill lives in Danbury, Essex and each year they raise money for a local hospice by organising an Open Gardens day. Jill would only raise eyebrows if she opened up her garden to the public, but she cooks a mean bacon butty, and they were selling faster than hot cakes, although the cakes were pretty popular too. The gardens were stunning: from a dinky little plot that was home to 160 different roses to the spectacular manor complete with swimming pool, at least two ponds and three summer houses. Personally I was inspired by Margaret's English country garden. The free hop-
on hop-off buses stopped for lunch and so we had to while away some time in The Rodney public house. Back home, later in the evening I enjoyed a family meal in my own garden. Not a cardigan in sight all day!
I've been humming Lou Reed's Perfect Day ever since - click on the link below if you fancy a sentimental musical moment of your own

Life is good - I think I am reaping what I've sewn.
