English Country Garden

Or at least the closest you will get to one in these parts of Bavaria. I love this house in the village, a typical old ex-farmhouse, with one third (with windows) being the human living quarters and the remaining two-thirds the cow shed and hay store. There used to be a good 50 such farmers in the village (750 inhabitants) back in the days when you were a big rich farmer if you had 10 cows and an ox to plough the fields. To have a horse instead to plough or cart was a luxury reserved for the super rich.

The house has a largish back garden full of interesting things, but one can only see a small part. Would be lovely to see the whole thing. I have often Bliped the front which has no garden but lots of things growing up the house walls.

Back in the pre Brexit days, bus tours to England's Country Gardens was an absolute hit in Germany.
