Last week we took a very misty walk around the lake at Trentham Gardens. I never tire of this walk and our yearly entry passes are money well spent. I'm grateful after illness this year to be able to walk around the whole of it again albeit a little more slowly. By the time we'd walked halfway down to the cafe at the end of the lake the mist was lifting. On our way back up the opposite side of the lake the sun came out to say hello and all was bright again.
The Miss Elizabeth is a passenger boat which rides up and down the lake.
White cosmos was everywhere on the lake side.
We looked for the heron on his usual perch on one of the canoes - he or she was there and waiting to be photographed.
There was a new sculpture - a rather malevolent looking elf on a punt, I don't know where he ties in with the fairies dotted around the gardens and lakeside.
The sun brought the butterflies, bees and hoverflies out into the garden and onto the flowers.
