Oh, then that was probably a repeat show from a long time ago since I would
think the flower garden would have been there for some time, right? There
was a long reflection pool. They had replaced a wooden building with glass
windows with a very tall open structure that remined me of a Roman aquaduct
. One could sit inside and view the reflecting pool and gardens out of the
elements. Does that sound like the garden at Castle Mey. Wish I had seen
more of the show to compare notes with you. But maybe they were calling it
Barrogill and I didn't quite catch it.
