This time it was another visit to Stockton Bury. It's just one of those gardens that one always has to back to. It's so reassuringly permanent and yet never exactly the same!
Timeless beauty really does describe it just as it says on their website (

Very busy bees! |
Anyway, it was lunch on the lawn outside the tithe barn before a stroll around. I know I've been banging on about the HUGE numbers of bees this summer despite all one reads in news papers BUT like PTC, Stockton Bury too was home to unusually large numbers of bees. On the Eryngiums, there were plague proportions - as many as 4 to a bloom. It was almost impossible to photograph flowers without snapping a bee. I had never seen so many bees. It's been just the same at PTC - zillions of bees everywhere! For more Stockton Bury photos (and their bees!) look at:
