Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
What an address.....love it! We were on our way back from Preston (Dobbies garden centre and Morrison's very cheap petrol), and in no time were at the garden. Set on the banks of the River Darwen, and built over 50 years by Chris with whom we had a long chat, it has a mysterious grotto, very flimsy bridge across which you go (we didn't) to an enormous tower built back in the day for his children, the garden has lots of nice areas and spots to relax. We also talked to a Texan who is a writer and working in the gardens on the WorkAway scheme. We'd never heard of this, but it sounds great. Our writer does 10 hours a week work in the garden and in return gets free board and food. We also chatted to an Italian on the scheme. Well worth our short detour when we eventually found it......... .....and when we got back, Clitheoe castle grounds was looking superb....how lucky we are.
