I had to pick up a package from over in Woking (I've been playing catch and missing them for a few weeks) and figured to make a day of it. (Otherwise it's an hour round trip for a package). Happily Wisley garden had their Taste of Autumn fair on that day. Yay for me! I managed to drag myself out of bed and get there early (after this week - i.e week from hell - was no mean feat!). But it did mean the place was mostly empty when I got there (and got a car parking space near the front).

| I love windy forest paths. |
The autumn colours were lovely. Though there were also a surprisingly number of flower still out.

| Loved the hippo |
There is a large Japanese rock garden near the exhibit area.

But my favourite part was the lane of bonsai trees. They are so cute and perfectly tiny. And they even had tree groves of mini tress.
The Taste of Autumn, in the exhibit area, had an area for apples (the gardens has orchards) with fresh pressed juice and you could try more types of apples than I knew existed. My favourite was greensleeves and forpear. Though I guess the odds of getting these again are slim.
There are about 30 stalls around the area with all sorts of food and drink. And happily (unfortunately?) they took card and one even gave cash back.

| Gin. |

| Pretty |
 |
| Chocolate liqueurs. |
 |
| The olives were amazing! |
I was surprised at the number of flowers still around and not dead. Plus the sun came out in the afternoon. It's probably going to be the last time I sit outside for a while.

| Chillies! |
I am looking forward to having visitors next week, but that means today is going to be spent cleaning and tidying. And getting ready for my new furniture to arrive this week. Finally a complete apartment. So excited!
