We took a trip to Packwood House again last week, mainly to see what was going on the gardens. We were not dissapointed by the plants, but, it being a Bank Holiday, and not wishing to be too snobby, there were one or two less desirables in attendance. One couple, although obviously not unintelligent, were encouraging there beloved offspring to try to jump across the ornamental pool in the sunken garden without falling in. Unfortunately they didn't (fall in that is), but the otherwise serene atmosphere was greatly disturbed.
Should I, or someone have said something to them? They certainly had plenty of disapproving looks, but to little effect, so I think that they would have been truely amazed that they might be causing offense.
Otherwise the gardens were magnificent as I hope these photos show:
