It was always my choice to wait outside these sorts of places with the dog so I didn't get to see Gertrude Jekyll's walled garden but Mr A did and he was very impressed.Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-79299511747825253852012-04-13T15:53:17.823+01:002012-04-13T15:53:17.823+01:00This sounds alluringly creepy :) Thanks for sharin...This sounds alluringly creepy :) Thanks for sharing, Bob!Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-34587727345990309162012-04-13T15:21:44.505+01:002012-04-13T15:21:44.505+01:00I'd love to visit there, it looks really inter...I'd love to visit there, it looks really interesting - and obviously steeped in history.

We stayed at Alnwick .. <br /><br />The Castle, causeway etc made an impression on me and I really should come north and 'repeat' my trip .. <br /><br />Especially now as I see Lutyens and Jekyll both had input into the building and gardens.<br /><br />Delighted with this one and its history .. glad I didn't do it!<br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-71913851638415868262012-04-13T07:22:49.894+01:002012-04-13T07:22:49.894+01:00To my eternal shame I have passed Lindisfarne hund...To my eternal shame I have passed Lindisfarne hundreds of times when I've been travelling north, but I've never visited, and now I don't know whether my rickety knees would get me up the hill.David Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000338117685929780noreply@blogger.com
