Did I mention that we’re heading for Scotland in the mobile writing retreat (campervan)? Well, we are but I managed to convince Gary that Wales is almost on the way, so we visited Bodnant Gardens. Twice actually, as a vehicle fire on the motorway meant we only had an hour and a half the first day, and that’s not nearly long enough.

According to Gary’s fancy watch, we walked for just over ten miles in the gardens over the two days. In my defence, that does include a trek to find pasties, as the first cafe we tried had sold out.

I’m not telling you how many photos I took, except to assure you, it wasn’t as many as the total word count added to the latest novel.

I think Bodnant is probably my favourite garden to visit. Can you suggest anywhere which might push it off the top spot.
