Yes, June is bursting out all over at the Watermill, in the gardens, the window boxes and courtyard tubs (above). Note that, as well as the vibrant petunias, lobelia, fuchsia and so on, we have two citrus trees in the background, a kumquat and a lemon, laden with fruit.
We are still confident that the bureaucrats and politicians will get their acts together to make travel much easier in the coming weeks and we are still planning our Grand Re-Awakening from the beginning of next month.
Come and enjoy our blooms, as well as inspiring tuition wonderful scenery, warm hospitality, delicious food and wine, and the convivial company of like-minded people. Here is the up-to-date list of availability for our internationally renowned creative courses:
