Mad Hatter's Tea Party

The Hunter Valley Gardens at Pokolbin; a place to visit when you have some free time. No matter what the season the gardens keep evolving. There is something new to see, even for the locals! Some time ago now we made the grand tour and snapped the obligatory pictures by which to remember the day. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to capture the group photo at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party table. Set the camera, run, sit, click. Oh! I wasn't ready. Start again. Finally, this is the best of the lot. We saw a cow jump over the moon while Kirstie had an encounter with Humpty Dumpty. He was a hard egg to crack. Did he fall or was he pushed? Where's Michael? Has anyone seen Michael? Alysia was seen chatting to a statue. Can't imagine what they had in common. Not sure what was said but it must have been funny as they are both smiling. The pathways enable the casual visitor to gradually wind their way through each section of the garden. It is difficult to choose a favourite part of the garden for each section is unique. The rooms created by clever planting design and then infused with sculptures or statues makes the whole day's outing memorable. This blog entry reminds me that it is probably time to visit again soon as the autumn leaves must be spectacular at this time of the year. Autumn has come late as we are still experiencing temperatures around 30 degrees and it is almost the end of April.
