Forde Abbey & Gardens (Chard, England)

The next stop on my England garden tour was Forde Abbey, a former Cistercian monastery. The 1600 acre estate is known for its gardens, which cover 30 acres. I cannot recall if the house was open, but I didn’t go inside. I did get some photos of the house which was an imposing structure.
A walled garden filled one side of the house – 

The grounds behind the house are vast with various garden areas separated by long walks and pathways. Water is a dominant feature. Several ponds feed into others. Forde Abbey is known for having the highest powered fountain in the country.

What would you consider between these two options?


I can decide between two houses one is near the seaside (I’m in the south of Italy so nice weather) but 4 hectares or another closer to the city and far from the sea with 8 hectares but a electric power line tower in the middle of the top parcel of 2 hectares cutting it in a diagonal way and ending at the start of the field and at the corner of another parcel?

They have similar price but the 4 hectares house need heavier repairs and probably total cost is higher, but it has a nicer view and it is in a better place near a marshy place that also has some natural woods (not that close though maybe some kms) free of electric lines but the house is near a neighbour.

Or the other one which only downside is the power electric lines.

If you look at one side you can see these power lines, one in the field and 3-4 a bit far away. The one in the field is 100 meter from the property.

But if you just turn south you can’t see any of them.

8 hectares is a lot of space, but the power lines make the plot a bit uglier

Namibia footage shows wildfire devastation in Etosha natural park – video

A fire has burned through a third of Namibia’s vast Etosha national park, one of Africa’s largest game reserves. The site in the north of the largely desert country is home to 114 mammal species, notably the critically endangered black rhinoceros, and is a popular tourist attraction.

The fire, which has been burning since 22 September, has caused extensive ecological damage and razed about 34% of the park, according to the environment ministry.

After an emergency cabinet meeting, the government announced that a further 500 soldiers would be deployed to assist troops, police, local people and firefighters at the scene
