Yesterday i took a day off to visit Hunter Valley Gardens with my parents and my sister. Mum loves roses and her and dad have a nice collection planted at their new home, so i thought it was a good time to go and visit the Gardens with Mum while they were in bloom. They have over 30+ varieties at present and i am sure Mum would like more!
I have been so busy this year and i wanted to just have a few hours and visit with my family, so off we went the 4 of us .
Unfortunately, due to me having school hours to stick to i didnt have a great deal of time to look around but it was a nice visit regardless. The temps reached about 32 degrees - it was a stinker, so i dont think we would have wanted to walk around much longer than we did anyway.
I am going to go back again when i can have a fuller day, as now i've been twice and still havent had a proper look i dont think.. besides i didnt get to visit the Chocolate shop in the village!
My Mummy and Daddy ...( loves you both!)..Thanks for the day out everybody.... and sorry mine was very rushed trip.

My sister, being her usual entertaining self!
A panorama view of the Rose Garden.
A couple of closer views of roses i liked.
This gorgeous, shady covered walk is i think my fave place in the whole Garden. I want one just like this in my backyard. Please. I know i'd make the effort to spend plenty of time relaxing out there!
And these are my fave little details - little birdbaths with floating flowers. It doesnt matter what type of flowers either.. i just think they are beautiful positioned through the covered walkway area.
Last time i visisted the Gardens they had Camelias floating instead of the current seasonal roses.
Had to include the Agapanthus... I do like these flowers a lot and i am waiting for my first to bloom in my front garden
The Itallian Grotto.. very nice .
This is a super-huge , and i mean SUPER huge Magnolia.. it was really lovely . I'd never seen one like that before.The flower was larger than a dinner plate. Massive
The lovely waterfall
We wandered through the Storyland section where the nursery rhymes are set out. For some reason I just really liked this sheep-dude!
And just because i like to be different here is an artistic representation of the image above.
