Goodbye summer...
Gale-force winds, road warnings and flash flooding hit the country. We were told to expect a wet and windy end to the Bank Holiday weekend, but nobody expected winter-like weather conditions to hit the west. Gusts of 80 to 100 km/hr are expected and the warning is valid until 10pm tonight (Tuesday).

I must admit I was not prepared for the sheer beauty and scale of Angela and Nigel East's "Secret Garden", less than 3 miles from Boyle. I doubt also that my photographs do justice to this tranquil oasis and beautiful home so close to home.
