A week in paradise


You probably have had enough pictures of golf, but I thought you might like to see the road to Wareham, bedecked with rhododenrons.  The golf is good at Wareham, made even better in the springtime by the drive there.


If you just fancy a walk without the golf we have
Delph Woods just up the road from us.

















Should your need be for something more energetic, join the fitness club and pedal on your back on the beach.

















Or take the wife for a walk on water!
Why do they always drag behind?








You could become a kayaker but you need to know where to go to avoid kayak jams!

















 Best of all just sit and marvel at the wildlife in the garden.

Old men playing golf - nearly!

Wareham Golf Club


Bad Driving?


"If you think that was bad you should see what he did to the golf couse with his buggy!"


"Don't know what you are up to over there John, but you can be seen!"


"I'm not moving from behind this tree unless I can drive the buggy!"

Gardeners Delight

These are a few pictures of the relatively small but unusual Knoll Gardens near to Wimborne in Dorset.

The garden set in woodland, of which the owners have won gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show for many years, is filled with plants, grasses and flowers; some unusual, others that are common in Dorset at this time of the year like rhododenrons and azaleas.

Erect aliums 

in contrast to this great fallen eucalyptus which has been nurtured to keep growing. You may see the branches growing from the top horizontal part of the trunk.












Wouldn't you just love a garden pond like this?











or rhododenrons this colour



















or even like this?










Here is my favourite
