After returning fromn Sardinia we spent a week at home, mainly going on bike rides and indulging in the odd pub lunch, but occasionally ventured a bit more further afield by car when our saddle-sore behinds needed a break. Although West Green House is relatively close to us, it's somewhere we'd never visited before. The weather was a bit grey, and we had to dodge the showers, but an intriguing garden to visit, with lots of smaller, enclosed gardens. The gardens were spectacular, but what caught mt attention more than anything else were the doorways. Some were big and bold, whilst others were a bit more hidden, reminding me a little of the children's classic, The Secret Garden.

Ok, so this last picture is not of a doorway, but it satisified my curiousity enough to include it here. It seems to be some sort of old water pump, possibly still in use.
