After our tour of Jordan’s Mill gardens, Helen and I went for a cup of coffee in the cafe there, and then took a walk along the banks of the River Ivel. It was raining on and off, but the tree cover was good!
The river is is a tributary of the River Great Ouse, and rises just north of Baldock in Hertfordshire, but most of its course lies within Bedfordshire.
eyes right ducklets!
wild plum trees grow along the hedgerow, they were yummy

Farm of wind
didn’t try these
we went as far as the bend in the river
and then headed back to the mill where there are nice plants along side it.
and a weird statue
And then we went home, so that’s it for now, next time we’re off to Shuttleworth to The Swiss Gardens, which are quite spectacular, so stay tooned!
Gorgeous shots…LOVE the wee duckies, what a shot!

I wonder if the statue used to be something else, but time and weather has worn it away.
