Bournemouth Upper Gardens July 2009


This morning it was one of those days when
the weather couldn't make up it's mind what it was going to do. By lunchtime it had decided to cheer up so in the afternoon we took Mark's parents to Coy Pond and walked through Bournemouth Pleasure Gardens to the sea.

The Upper Gardens (that part of the gardens closest to Coy Pond) are a special place - a haven of tranquility and always with some seasonal delight. Today we saw Purple Loosestrife, yellow trefoil, dragonflies and bullrushes.












By the time we reached the town centre it was a glorious summer afternoon and the Lower Gardens and beach were packed. There was a large screen set up in the Lower Gardens and some folks were watching the Wimbledon Ladies Final while enjoying the sunshine.
