After some wonderful sunshine for the last two days, the morning started with thick mist and it continued all of the way on my journey to Wallington. Reaching Wallington at about 8.45 a.m. it was not really good photography weather! The mist still shrouded the property and it was feeling quite damp.
The weather forecast for the next few days is for heavy rain and strong winds. The mist cleared before lunch and you could feel the temperature start to climb, as the sun came out for the afternoon. Our work for the morning was to cut back a wayward Rhododendron bush and cut some branches off a yew tree. The work was needed to ensure the contractors can get their equipment along the paths when they start to lay the new paths around the property.
After lunch we went into the Walled garden and edged the lawn on the Lower terrace. The sun ensured there were quite a few visitors and as usual, we got the very positive comments about the condition of the Walled Garden.
Leaving wallington at 3.30 p.m. the rain was nowhere to be seen but this was short lived, as it started as I reached home.
The following photographs were taken before I started work this morning:
