Pastels ,flip flops,eating super outside ,listening to the owls ,magical.

Iv been reliably informed we will have snow in 2 weeks-shut up!!

Enjoying the garden -end of September !!

Misty mornings ,then hot sunny days-bliss!!


Sunsets and warm evenings. The seasons are Topsy turvey.

Dreaming of a hot sunshine Christmas....

So hot today!! Tried to plant some bulbs but gave up. Not that I'm complaining-Love this weather!! Enjoying it while it lasts.

Planning the Christmas preview-hard to think of Christmas in the sunshine (I think Id enjoy it more if we could have Christmas dinner in the Garden or a picnic??

The preview will be Nov 11 th -in case you were wondering??

Holding on to Summer flowers...

The last of the old Roses and Delphinium from the field-Want to hold onto them , no more till next year!!

Word of warning- I got an email from a fellow blogger/friend-well her email address but someone pretending to be her asking for money. I could tell it was most definitely not her !!

Summer has arrived -for one week only????

The last garden group of the year coming to visit today-lots of cake baking last night!

They will be lucky with the weather -Summer in September!

Home is where the heart is...

Glad to be at home after hospital ordeal-relived its done !

Dahlia delights...

Orfeo
Purple gem
Franz Kafka

Radiant -till the first frosts. I leave them in the ground ,with a substantial mulch.

plans...

Making lots of plans at the moment..

Workshops will Finely be happening!!

I must get my house how I would like it-its always on the bottom of the list!

I found this beautiful silk curtain at an antiques fair and wondered what I should do with it? Had an idea I might put it up in my bedroom by the doors that go into the garden.

Thank you for your kind words of support . I'm looking into solutions ,to my recycling dilemma-I do have lots of compost bins-finding room for more.

I'm feeling more upbeat today-delivering flowers to smiling faces,makes me realise I do love my job!

Feeling rather glum...

I have a hospital appointment that Iv not been looking forward to for a while now. So I will have to close on Friday . I`m trying to put it to the back of my mind(don`t think its working!)

I'm changing things around in the shop-I tend to do that when I'm worried about something, A control thing I guess??

Heard some bad news the other day- our recycling centre is stopping collecting green waste along with all the other items its stopping! The town has had a petition for sometime ,we even got Alan Titchmarsh to sign it for us when he was here. Thousands of signatures !! The council in their short sighted wisdom , keep cutting back on the real needed facilities like public toilets etc. I don't know how I will manage,I have so much green waste with my garden,let alone the shop! I have even questioned if I shall carry on doing flowers and concentrate on vintage-

Answers on a postcard please!!



Ede has taken a shine to the Ottomans we have been selling lately!

The question on everyones lips `whats Alan like?`
Yes, it was windy BUT THE SUN SHONE-YIPEEE AND NO RAIN!!
Teas and cakes went well-people keep asking for a cafe / tea shop here-any thoughts??
I did not bake these,I hassen to add-I get a bit claustraphobic in the kitchen,too much to do of greater inportance in the garden!

I have super friends that love to bake (much,much better than me anyday!!) I strongly believe in letting people get on with what they do best!
