点评:Sunday 23nd June 2024, My husband and I went out for the day to visit Coughton Court at Alcester, which is owned by The National Trust.
As the weather forecast said it would be a beautiful hot sunny day, we dressed in our summer clothes and enjoyed this wonderful hot day, which continued all day. We arrived and after parking the car we decided to walk round the grounds of Coughton Court first.
We then strolled round the Formal garden with its pristine boarders and lawn; we then went into the Walled Garden and looked at the wonderful flowering apple and pear fruit trees. We then strolled down The Gentleman’s Walk, with its lovely views across the lake towards the church. We sat on a bench and enjoyed the peace and quiet, the sounds of birds in the trees and the sound of a wood pecker tapping on a tree. I found inspiration whilst sitting here and I wrote a poem called ‘This Could Be A Dream’.
We looked at The Bog Garden with its interesting bog plants. Next we strolled round The Vegetable Garden, which still grows vegetables for the Cafe at Coughton Court. We then strolled round the Orchard and we went through a gate back into the walled garden, with its wonderful contrasting herbaceous borders, one was a ‘cool’ border with various shades of purple, blue and yellow and the other was a ‘hot’ border with various shades of red, yellow and orange against the background of a lovely copper beech.
We sat in the lovely hot sun for an hour and again I found inspiration as I wrote a poem called ‘Contrasts’. We then strolled into another garden and sat by a lovely fountain enjoying the sunshine. It was nice to sit and relax and just listen to the trickling water. We then strolled back through the rose garden with its intoxicating scents as it was nearly closing time and went back to the car park to collect our car.
翻译:2024 年 6 月 23 日星期日,我和丈夫外出参观了阿尔塞斯特的 Coughton Court,该物业归国家信托所有。
天气预报说这将是一个阳光明媚的炎热天气,我们穿上夏装,享受这持续一整天的美好炎热天气。我们到达后,停好车,决定先在 Coughton Court 的场地上散步。
然后,我们漫步在拥有原始边界和草坪的正式花园中;然后我们进入围墙花园,欣赏美丽的开花苹果树和梨树。然后,我们沿着绅士步道漫步,欣赏湖对面通往教堂的美景。我们坐在长椅上,享受着宁静、树上鸟儿的叫声和啄木鸟敲树的声音。坐在这里时,我找到了灵感,写了一首名为《这可能是一个梦》的诗。
我们看了沼泽花园,那里有有趣的沼泽植物。接下来,我们漫步在菜园里,这里仍然种植着 Coughton Court 咖啡馆的蔬菜。然后,我们漫步在果园里,穿过一扇大门回到围墙花园,花园里有美丽的对比鲜明的草本植物边界,一个是“冷色”边界,有各种深浅不一的紫色、蓝色和黄色,另一个是“热色”边界,有各种深浅不一的红色、黄色和橙色,背景是一棵可爱的铜色山毛榉。
我们在可爱的烈日下坐了一个小时,我再次找到了灵感,写了一首名为《对比》的诗。然后,我们漫步到另一个花园,坐在一个可爱的喷泉旁享受阳光。坐下来放松,听着潺潺的流水声,真是太好了。然后,我们漫步穿过玫瑰园,闻着它令人陶醉的香味,因为快要关门了,我们回到停车场取车。
