Anglesey Abbey wasn't crowded when Virginia and I arrived just after 10am. I shall have to remember that they keep a few places on the special snowdrop guided tours free each day. We were offered the chance to go on the tour at 11am or 1:30pm but the timing didn't work for us. A shame.

As nice as seeing the snowdrops is what I really relish is just the colours and shapes of the vegetation that the gardeners create. Like an abstract painting. The plants are perhaps as artificially arranged as in a classic formal garden but nonetheless enchanting.
