My wedding entertainment work as a caricaturist and silhouette artist takes me to luxury wedding venues all over the North East. One such is the Ramside Hall Hotel in County Durham, which has also become one of my favourite places for eating out.Having been there hundreds of times, I was amazed last week to discover a gorgeous little plant nursery tucked away in the grounds! How could I have missed it?
*****
Oh what bliss to wander round in the early evening sun! There is a magical feel to the place.
*****
Stepping through the tall trees is like entering a fairytale world with thatched cottage, little paths winding over bridges, by a stream and past fascinating groups of potted plants. An enchanting wonderland!
*****
Glimpses of a round ruby-red flowerbed entice the eye - a jewel among the luxuriant greens.
*****
Feathery acers drape their scarlet leaves across masses of darker foliage and old stonework.
*****
Even the rows of plants for sale are as much part of the artistry of the place, blending seamlessly into the overall composition.
*****
I wander around slowly, revelling in the atmosphere of this enchanting little plantsmans paradise.
