‘Remember, remember the 5th of November’
The familiar rhyme says to us.
Although annually this is not usually a possibility readily for me,
Thankfully this year it will be!
For I was sufficiently lucky to be visiting
A magnificent Victorian garden awash with colour.
What impact to attract, it was dramatic.
For the November splendour was the colour,
Vibrant, intense, immense in dense variety.

And some few remaining bright green of the deciduous

Lord, I thank You for a glorious afternoon spent at Tyntesfield* in Somerset. The brochure describes here as
“An earthly paradise”, an apt description I would say! Again thank You. Amen.
