Surrounded by mud blood and death, you would appreciate the serenity that can be found in the walled garden at the rear of Talbot House. To see what I mean just watch the short clip.

I never knew you were a horticulturalist. The gardens are pretty and I imagine they would have been soothing. Lovely video!
Very nice garden and interesting info on Talbot House.
The soldiers sitting in the mud remind us of how difficult it is to keep our freedoms.
So many die for it and so many abuse their privileges, seeing them as rights.....rights they did nothing to earn.Rights we can all lose tomorrow.
Emm - Yes I am a hortic, there are a few of us Brit gardeners around Belgium. glad you liked the video.
Lady - Very true, there are a lot of Lads and Lasses going out to the bad places world so that we can be comfortable and safe at home.

Sometimes there can be nothing louder than peace in a garden. We must get to Talbot House in the future.
Great posts on this important building BBE
Talbot house is well worth visiting, if your in or around the Ieper (Ypre) Salient. It's not that big but it has such an atmosphere about it.
