A few flowers



Well I waited for a really sunny day to record some of our garden flowers this year but settled for a moth eaten overcast one instead





One of our German guest came in to Breakfast and said they had apprehended a yellow duck hiding under their bathroom window, in the lavender, where it had obviously made a daring bid for freedom! Duck restored!!!

The garden steamer chairs lead an itinerant life so I can never be sure where they will pop up next but today, this one was in a perfect position for my flowers



The lavender still blousily fills the little herb garden at the entrance, lingering between full bloom and decline

A garden seat favoured by Wilbur the stray cat safely invisible as people walk past towards the house and seldom glance at the bench - Olly favours a position in the lavender plants



The little herb garden again


The pots of french lavender that line the Parterre wall on the approach to the front door - the humble privet hedge has been stunning this year - a sort of vertical medieval flowery mead

Gardeners tip A gardening guest suggested feeding my pots with Tamorite and they are all doing well this year

    Hi, Garden looking beautiful as always. Bet the duck had a shock to find a whole new family had taken it's place ! Hope the good weather returns soon. Sue

    The natural light brings out the sheer intensity of flower colours so much in your part of the country. Your garden is sooo beautiful, rain or shine!
    And we also have a visiting stray; Percy the white. On a farm that's a colour rarity!

    Thanks Sue - well I suppose the Duck deserved a shock or maybe it likes the new company!
    Welcom Mrs G.H. The garden is "slightly" buffeted today by the new hedge makes a great wind break. I can never resist a stray either good luck to Percy the white! Christine
