"The combined heady perfume from the hedge of Gardenias and roses that tumble from the gardens bordering the rear courtyard, was simply divine on a lovely sunny morning, and this Agent was in Heaven!!"
So many choices of where to sit and relax in the gardens, beside the lily pond or dams, or amongst the rose gardens and hedgerows, or picnic alongside the jonquils and Crocus bulbs beneath the trees.
