wallabies - there are loads - big n small - lots of different shades too.... :)

Well worth a visit - a great walk round at almost any time of year.

I must discover how to stick pictures on the site (problem is most are too big at the moment) :unsure:

It's a good site for dragonflies too.

The last chance to visit Leonardslee Gardens...
                                      ...from now until the end of June when the gardens will be closed to the public.

Someone has bought the estate and is not so keen to have "us lot" wandering around their gardens  :(

I'm hoping to get there for one last time. Take a look: Leonardslee Gardens (http://www.leonardsleegardens.com/index.html)

BBCi Player = Gardener's World episode 11 mentions the gardens too.
