Bressingham

Had a day out at    Bressingham near Thetford last week.  Alan Bloom's wonderful gardens were a delight to wander round.  Older Uk people will remember him on  gardening programmes back in the day.   Especially restful as the grass was very, very green and lush.
Son and family had paid a fortune for a day at Hampton court show and said this was far better!

The steam rail and historic bit always looks a little tired especially in the heat but we found things to enjoy like this carnival horse grandson rode with ted and monkey.
It was actually very quiet with few visitors in the museum sheds and no staff or volunteers around so we were suitably naughty and rang the fire engine bell and wore the helmets.

  1. Last time we went there and had a ride on the little train it went through broken poly tunnels and heaps of rubbish - so sad to see as it was once a flourishing nursery.

    1. Yes it is very sad round the back!! I think the Blooms nursery operation is on the other side of the road and the garden centre is owned by Wye*vale now. I think that's what makes the thing so scruffy looking - it is a shame.

  2. The garden and grass look very peaceful. Glad you got to ring the bell and wear the helmets.

    God bless.
