Gary and Shirley – Hereford

My wife daughter and I were absolutely blown away by our visit. I was amazed how I felt at peace with the world so relaxed and ashamed that it has taken me so long to visit .
I will be back ( how often?)

the gardens today. We got an interesting introduction from the guide, Keith I think, to a man that I hadn’t heard of before, though he is well known in Japan. The garden was an oasis of calm, with running streams, lovely plants and seating areas. Finished off the visit with a nice cappuccino. We really enjoyed our visit.
