I've been remiss in writing about my recent walks, for which I apologise. Ok, I have the excuse that my life is currently as organised as my flat (I'm moving in a few weeks, and hoo-boy, boxes everywhere) but even I'll admit it's a pretty flimsy one, so shall try and gain your weakened trust by going BLAH over a few park posts! The first of which is about my visit to the Japanese Garden in the Clingendael Estate last month...
Oh my, but it's astonishingly beautiful when you can catch it in full bloom. Even more beautiful if you go early in the morning to avoid people littering the place with their, well, with themselves!
This beautifully maintained garden is only open eight weeks of the year - six in late Spring, and two in the Autumn, and I really can't recommend visiting it enough. Although perhaps it's a good idea to choose a time when there are fewer people than trees...
... partly because you'll stand a better chance of creeping up on an unsuspecting heron if the place isn't continually being bombarded with the redundant noise of mobile phone fake camera clicks and whirrs...
But they say a picture is worth a thousands words, so I am happy to pic-spam the rest of this post in lieu of, well, a few thousand extraneous words...
