It is a fabulous evening this evening, delightful relaxing and with a blackbird singing the evening towards us. Sparrows have nested under the corner of the house this year and the returning House Martins are giving serious consideration to nesting in the Garden room although not prone to making a rash decision. Meanwhile, Ollie and Spud have the answer to the daily life and simply select a sun warmed snoozing spot to observe the day from - on Friday i laboured over ten tons of gravel fro the car park and I think the results are worth it as Ollie dutifully stood to, peering knowledgeably at my endeavours, a cat of many seasons.

I just viewed your Facebook page and much pleasure your beautiful photographs gave me. The last time I saw echiums 12' tall was at Jersey Lavender C.I. years ago. Quite spectacular, isn't it. Snap with the blue flags, they are gorgeous too. 60+ years they've bloomed in our oldest farmhouse garden planted by our late mother.
ReplyDeleteAt last, better weather is forecast this week, it has been soooo cold and dull here, & we've all had stinky colds recently. Hence, lots of baking being done to keep up the energy levels. I plan to put in a monkey puzzle tree and a cobnut today before we are into spring corn spraying. The early field peas (in pods) for Asda are in flower and carrots and tatties showing. We have to rabbit net the fields these days too. Loved Ollie and Spud relaxing in the tropics! I wish!! Give the horses a pat for me.
