We visited RHS Wisley for the first time since lockdown started.
At first it seemed surreal to be out somewhere, but it was a lovely day.
There was a booking system for entry and the gardens are large enough be uncrowded.
The roses looked beautiful.
There were lots of pumpkins in the trial field.
A treat at the end of our visit. We haven't been out even for a coffee since lockdown started; this was a tentative step towards normality.
Our second trip out was to meet my parents at a country park to celebrate my Mum's birthday. None of us felt like going to a restaurant, so we packed up a picnic.
En route we stopped off to admire the dahlia field at a garden centre.
Continuing our journey, we met my parents at Brandon Country Park in Suffolk. It was the first time I had seen them since February as travel hasn't been an option until recently. We all went for a walk through the woods and across the heather covered heathland.
My parents, always holding hands.
A mausoleum, apparently full of bats.
Mini airshow by the USAF, from a nearby base, whilst we picnicked!
Despite the dark looking clouds we managed a picnic without rain.
