Re: Chelsea Show and Europe


Louise,

It's been years ago, but we did Sissinghurst via
train/bus/walking...found the road was not easy to walk as there is
no path on the verge and the grass was rough...pretty heavily
traveled, too.  Hope you find a better route from your cottage:-) 
Worth the walk, tho' I hear it is quite crowded these days.  Crowds
or not, would not want to miss seeing it.  Only wished I'd been there
when the roses in the white garden were in bloom - I was there in
Sept. and the gardens were still lovely tho' all the high summer
things had passed.

Giverny is one I'd love to visit.
