It was the scent of roses that made me all agog to see the garden at Polesden Lacey.

It’s a very peaceful garden.

With such a tranquil and enchanting atmosphere – something that photographs sometimes struggle to convey.

Every corner is lovely.

Pop in and admire the garden from all angles!

Roses. Roses.
Powerful plume blooms
and a scent skips through the tips
as it tears about
my head.
Lemon tops – a citrus note
tingles the breeze.
Zing!
Tiny petal sheets
cosy hums free
tickling joyfully!
