North Wales - 9 February - Bodnant formal garden

The Thursday was a quieter, and not so sunny a day, and I paid my first visit to the National Trust garden of Bodnant.   What a garden to enjoy throughout the year!   This posting covers the colour in the formal gardens.   The first photograph is of the iconic Laburnum archway without any sign of yellow as yet, just rows of very neat reef knots anticipating growth and restraint.
