On a rather dismal day we set out for the Longton Portmeirion Factory Shop and combined it with our first visit to Biddulph Grange Garden (National Trust) - an "amazing Victorian garden created by James Bateman"

Each 'room' in the garden was supposed to be a different country - above is the Italian garden

The Chinese garden was styled after the blue "Willow Pattern" often seen on plates, etc.

This was the nearest we got to seeing the sun.

Qu. Is this Bateman anything to do with the brew that carries the name?
