In an English Country Garden

Searched high and low for a balloon at Northampton Balloon Festival but saw not a one! I understood they flew on Friday before I got there!

Never mind, another meet up with my good friend and a visit to a Boughton House near Geddington for a visit to their fine walled gardens.

Lunch on one of the outdoor tables on the lawn, a shared platter of meats, cheeses, pate and other goodies, before a walk around the walled gardens.

Beautifully kept and in one of the immaculate little garden sheds, we found the gardeners having a tea break.
