Repton, Derbyshire - Summer 2007. St Wystan's Church, Repton School and open gardens visit.

This is a quick video of bits I filmed in summer 2007 at the village of Repton, Derbyshire.

This is one of the rare days in summer 2007 that it did not rain !!!!

The footage includes the main street in Repton, a view of St Wystan's Church, Various shots of Repton School and gardens and finally a view of an open garden with a nice brook flowing through it and a set of cascading ponds. I wish my garden was as nice as this, I would love a brook or stream in it. As long as there is no chance of it flooding of course !

The garden was open to the public as part of The National Garden Scheme. This allows you to wander around peoples gardens for a small donation so you can appreaciate just how crap your own garden is.
These are normally open in the summertime, so look out for the yellow HGS signs in villages about this time of year. Unless of course you are reading this in the winter time, in which case you will have to wait until the summer. If its Autumn now then you will have a long wait until next year.
