Cliveden House and Gardens is not far from us.
We went on a bright summers day with Liz and Adrian.
Jennifer was feeling well so we decide not to push to hard.
As we arrived, The Clock tolled and rung across the hotel courtyard
It is beautiful Clock tower with gold trimmings
The gardens were beautiful although most were spring plants
The house is a Hotel not so going in is not possible.
The house was a splendorous place in it's heyday.
So were the gardens, due to the heat we decided to walk around the gardens under the trees.
Where wonderful Poppies of Deep purples were present.
We walked to the Turtle Fountain, not a turtle in sight but a great place to sit and enjoy the view
The running water was cool but the fountain was once white
Now it has character
Then to explore the Rose Garden
This was mostly theme is the oranges as that what Lady Astor
was into.
There were of course were statues
and fine fountains
But it was the beautiful day that produced rainbows that made special.
