We had a wonderful day with “Carers in Hertfordshire” Lots of cake and tea drunk.

A great wander round the garden and a little bit of history of the walled garden.

Followed by hammering leaves and flowers into cotton.
Then a beautiful end with breathing techniques and listening to the sound bowl.
