Here we are,
On the hill of summer;
The longest day.

For my little verse, I give thanks to A.E. Housman and to J.A. Baker for their inspirational writing.

Have a great day!

With our picnic packed and the weather forecast promising a warm sunny day, we travelled to Mount Stewart in County Down, on the Ards Penninsula. It’s a place we love, and we will no doubt return again, and again!

Part of the reason to visit these gardens was to once again be surrounded by trees, something I have missed very much since the Coronavirus circulated the Earth. I feel that I am incomplete if I can’t have trees and their company in my life. So today I’m posting about a walk around a garden full of trees.

Here is the website: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/mount-stewart

After our visit we travelled a few minutes along the road to a small car park where there were some picnic benches and that’s where we remained until it was time to drive home.
