Ham House - Richmond-upon-Thames (England), May 2016

Ham House is one of the grand houses that can be found alongside the River Thames, to the west of London. It was originally built in the early 17th century and remained the property of the prominent Tollemache family for most of its existence, before being donated to the National Trust in 1948. The house has beautiful grounds and boasts many different gardens, including the Cherry Garden, a small gem with a meticulous diamond pattern, planted with lavender bush and dotted with aligned topiary cones. When the sun gets low on the horizon, the whole place is pervaded with a gentle magic, as if the garden was preparing for a vesperal visit from the nymphs of evening...
