A gorgeous, sunny day, on a weekend must needs mean a day out - or part of a day. We had to pop down to Garson's Farm in Esher anyway, because we needed some asparagus and the picking season is short, but as Claremont Gardens is across the road from Garson's - almost literally - and as we are National Trust Members this year, so it's "free" (i.e. we have already paid!) we couldn't resist.
Azaleas were in bloom.
Moorhens were displaying their chicks.
Children were climbing trees (the other child isn't beyond tree-climbing, but she didn't come with us).
Views were viewed.
More azaleas were blooming.
Trees were standing tall and proud in the blazing (yes, I do still live in England - it's odd, I know) sunshine.
(Here's the opposing view to the previous one.)
And of course, the most onerous part of being a National Trust Member - all those teashops to be visited and cakes to be quality-controlled...
