Views around the grounds and Walled Garden - 04/01/2012.

Made my first visit of the year to Wallington today. Severe weather yesterday was to close the property due to health and safety issues. The high winds continue to do their damage to the trees around the grounds.

The weather forecast was for rain and high winds returning in the afternoon and I was set to work near to the entrance and Clock Tower. Our first job was to remove decorative gravel and slate from two raised flower beds. We managed to get this completed just after lunch and my next job was to work on the compost heaps near to East Lawn.

The rain appeared in the early afternoon but the wind had not got up before I left.

The following photographs were taken this morning before I started work.
