	I did Belle. They were wonderful and such a variety of types and amazing colours :-D Lovely bluebells in the woodland glades too. It was a lovely afternoon and in a sheltered spot, so I even needed to take my cardi off :-0

	Yes, they did Belle. Both they and the azaleas were huge and the grounds cover several acres, so in some areas it was like massive 'trees' of bold colours. Daughter took some photos, but they don't really capture the vibrant show of colours.

	When they have the US Golf Open at Augustus the Rhododendrons always look a picture :-D As you say seeing them up close is different from the photos :-D

	I iron very little. My mum used to iron everything. Lots more natural fibre items then, so they needed different care. Always seem to be tablecloths needed sorting. I haven't used one for ages.

	I iron as little as possible :-D :-D

	I wear mostly linen during the warmer weather. If it is not ironed, it looks like a dishcloth :-D :-D
