A visit to Forde Abbey and gardens.

Very colourful blooms in this corner of the Kitchen Garden.

Rows and rows of vegetables.

I am not sure what this is but I like the two tone colours.

A bee feeding on this borage like flower.

Forde Abbey and house. The original monastery on this site dates from the 12th century.

The house entrance.

The Abbey.

The western end of the house.

A nice splash of colour in these borders.

The long pond.

The 160 foot high fountain in the mermaid pond.

In the spray from the fountain I was able to capture a rainbow.

A worms eye view of the flora.
