National Garden Scheme – Frome
Most Brits have heard of this organization, NGS, which exists to encourage the opening up of private gardens for visitors. I expect other countries have their equivalent but today was the turn of Frome to show five gardens.

This is a blatant lift from Quora, such a moving story about the effect of our actions on others which I quote in full. One Last Goodbye – In Simple Words Mom, I went out to a party tonight. I remembered what you always told me—not to drink alcohol. So I didn’t. I chose a Sprite instead. I felt proud because I made a smart, healthy choice. You were right.
