Today I took the train to Dorking a town not to far away and visited a national trust property Polesden Lacey. After a short can ride I arrived at the trust property. The place was packed with people quite the popular place. I toured the gardens looking at the formal plantings around the house, the rose garden, as well as the vegetable and fruit display. The house itself was a massive structure with a view to die for. That view was my favorite part of the garden off the house the land took a quick slope down ending in a large hedge which you could easily see over to the adjacent countryside which was breath taking. The pictures are below you could see the sheep grazing on the green pastures as the foggy haze settled on the towering trees. On the way there when I exited the train station in the car park I noticed the infamous car boot sales I have heard about. Rather than what we do in the us invite people to come and look at all the junk we don't want in our garage "garage sale" they pack their cars and head to a car park to sell their wares. They pack their trunks "boots" with all their stuff and head to a populated car park. It was quite the site to see. It was a fun day out and saw some interesting horticultural things as well as some cool cultural things.
