I visited in 1985 from S.Africa and could not believe how gorgeous and lush the gardens were. It was spring and I had never seen peonies before and the hanging baskets everywhere were amazing. Now we are here in the UK I can never get enough of the beautiful gardens. Take care and have a good week. Things will get back to normal one day.
