We haven’t been recently to Anglesey Abbey; it’s much closer to us than Audley End, yet it’s a bit of a pickle to reach if you don’t have a car—it could be either a lengthy-ish walk (albeit not too pleasant, as the main part of it goes along busy Newmarket Road) or a bus, but its schedule isn’t as frequent on weekends as on weekdays.
Anyway, we arrived there around half one, and it was packed with people, as the weather was incredibly gorgeous—warm, radiant and full of joyful springy buzz.
The daffodils are mostly faded away already, and the rose garden was on the brink of awakening (the stems were already full of fresh leaves, yet the time for the first buds was way ahead), but we were super lucky to catch the hyacinth garden—symmetrical lines with purple and snow white flowerbeds looked absolutely splendid, and the scent was marvellous, too. I did love the tongue-in-cheek positioning of the statues of Pan and fauni: their bottoms reflected lots of sunshine.
