Wisteria

Having done a blog posting about Wisteria recently I discovered when we went to Bicton Park near Exeter that it has probably the oldest Wisteria in Britain.

It really is a magnificent specimen.

Glorious. That will go on my list of things to see "in person..."
Thank you!
The fragrance must have been over-powering....

Beautiful - as you may recall I have a wisteria in my back yard. But this one takes the crown!

Wisteria grows less lushly here in New England, but it is persistent. One year we had a magnificent show. I felt as if I were living in a Chinese watercolor.

The Cast

This is my main blog insofar as it is the one I try to ensure has at least one entry per day - and usually two. It is also the one which has my Friday My Town Shoot-out on it.

My home is in Pensby on The Wirral in Cheshire, England but at the moment I am on holiday in the Outer Hebrides, staying at my brother's near Stornoway. (Somewhere I have a little map that says I am here and points to Stornoway but I can't find it and am too lazy to make another one). This is the cast of characters who appear regularly:-

Me - sometimes known as CJ or John and otherwise known as Scriptor Senex; Jo (alias Partner-who-loves-tea and also known as Partner-who-hates-being-photographed); Bryony (Food-loving-Daughter); Bryony's husband Mark (Son-in-law-who-cooks); Helen (Daughter-who-takes-photos); Helen's husband Ian (a.k.a. Son-in-law-and-Friend-who-loves-Otters); Richard (Son-who-watches-films);
