One more unto the breach, dear friends, once more...
 |
Just in case you'd like your own rhododendrons, the huge garden store
can satisfy your every need |
 |
| Wisteria City |
 |
| Very large fern tree |
 |
| More laburnam tease |
 |
| Part of an incipient Monkey Puzzle grove |
 |
| A great handkerchief tree |
 |
| Looking toward the river Beaulieu |
 |
| Eat your heart out, Claude... |
 |
In spring, 1944, a German reconnaissance plane was shot down over Exbury; had it gotten back to France, the Germans might have figured out that the D-Day landings would occur at Normandy, instead of at the Pas de Calais, where everyone expected... |
 |
Because it was in this region primarily that the great Allied armada
was assembled; the plaque above commemorates the landing craft
crews whose troops attacked the beaches at Arromanches...
|
 |
| Again, the river Beaulieu, low-tide, near the coast |
 |
| Love the cascades |
 |
| Lastly, Exbury House; not open to the public |
 |
| Facing the river |
