The Wilderness is my favourite part of Ham House and Gardens and this picture gives a hint of why that is.
Firstly it's green. Very green. And green means natural. The grasses, hedges and trees all battling to demonstrate their superiority in greenness. Secondly, it's enchanted with memories of every happy childhood. Here you expect to see Rupert playing with the Bash Street Kids.
The scheming paths and the intransigent hedges always offer the promise of something new and exciting around the next corner. A pixie perhaps?
