It was a beautiful day today so we decided to go for a walk. Hergest Croft Gardens which are very close to us and which have featured many times on my 365 are actually closed until April. However, if you're a season ticket holder you can go into the gardens throughout the winter. We try to take advantage of this because it would be such a shame to miss the early spring flowers (more tomorrow). The only downside is that the cafe isn't open but perhaps that's a good thing.
