Biddulph Grange Gardens in the rain.
On our two-day drive back to London from the Lake District, we visited Biddulph Grange gardens. The weather was not so nice, but we decided to make the best of it and enjoy having the gardens to ourselves. Seriously, the workers looked at us like they hadn't seen visitors in a very long time, and mom even spooked a gardener in the bathroom, since the gardener wasn't expecting anyone else to be there!
The gardens were quite extensive, and we (or, at least, I) had a nice time exploring all of the passageways and different garden rooms and themes. There were a few places where the puddles were so large that we had to think creatively about how to get from one place to another, but I didn't mind.
The house is actually sectioned off into 7 or 8 private apartments, so we couldn't see inside the house, but the garden was quite nice!
Of course, I couldn't visit a garden without getting some flower photos!
Even thought the people who worked there looked at us as though we had three heads each when we said we wanted to tour the gardens even in the rain, it ended up being a pleasant afternoon.
And the rain stopped right as we were leaving the garden. Because that's just how it goes sometimes!
