I shall be thinking of you when I am in Wales, and do hope there is space among the raindrops to get a sighting of St Donats and Cardiff castles (and I do hope, also, for a conversation with Friko while I'm there). In the meantime, I just learned that, over at my site, the photographic slideshow of the garden was not appearing. I have now fixed it, so if you should stop back by, I hope you can see it. In reading your post, I thought how nice it would be to take a hamper and sit looking out on the Central Park Conservatory's great lawn.Susan Scheidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250142489341777926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-62978171684138002452012-05-05T15:05:09.546+01:002012-05-05T15:05:09.546+01:00Woah, I'm stuffed!
