The Isabella Plantation is an area of Richmond Park that is enclosed with a fence to keep out the deer and filled with rhododendrons, azaleas and magnolias. In spring, there are few prettier places in London.

On Good Friday, I visited Winkworth Aboretum, in Surrey. I have previously been there in Autumn in the pouring rain and in February with snow on the ground. So, it was a treat to see it on a glorious sunny spring day.
The recent cold snap seems to have finished off the magnolia flowers. But, for a brief time before that, they were looking beautiful.
