We spent the afternoon today at the Abbotsbury Sub-tropical gardens down in Dorset, attending the ‘Show of Hands Summer Family Festival’ (or something like that). It’s basically a mini festival featuring folk group Show of Hands and a number of other acts, including Ade Edmondson and his group the Bad Shepherds.
As well as the bands and the beautiful gardens, the Abbotsbury gardens are very near to Chesil Beach, which you can see very well from the hill at the top of the gardens – as you can see in today’s photo. You can also see down to the Abbotsbury Swannery, though my zoom lens wasn’t that good on this occasion!
