Taking a break from the Jubilee revelry by spending a day
in the countryside exploring Forde Abbey house and gardens. We first visited the Abbey back in March when
the place was awash with mud and bare flower beds but this time round, we were
able to enjoy the lovely gardens and woodland walks.

I hope our photos will give you an idea of the beauty of
the gardens, the wonderful Centenary fountain (switched on twice in the afternoons) and all
the colourful flowers in the various gardens. Enjoy!

More about Forde Abbey from
http://www.fordeabbey-gardens-dorset.co.uk/. The garden tab on the site's main menu gives a complete history of the garden and includes a map of what there is to see. It's a lovely place to spend a day enjoying someone else's garden.
