We well my partner & I went to Tatton park on Saturday to have a look around the Japanese Gardens and for the extras £1.50 we took up the guided tour of the internals of the Garden.
If you get the opportunity and get around the Knustford Cheshire Area on a Saturday or Wednesday have a look.
So I have a small corner patch on my garden where I already have an old pergola which is not that good looking so my plan is to take it down and make a Zen Garden with a Shinto Gate from timber something like this one.
