Long legs

Ede has gone all long legged! She loves sitting in the sun watching the birds.

dogs like flowers too!!

This is Dillon , he was a perfect model for me!!

Rambling away

Lovely scented old fashioned roses fill the air with perfume.

Lovely light

Early mornings and late summer eve - Love this time of year.

The garden is at its best , we can eat outside. Long walks by the river with doggy-AHH!

bits and bobs in the garden

Oh i do like to be beside the seaside

Ah a day off at last!! We had a fab day in Norfolk. The sun even shone!

Ede building sandcastles. First trip trip the seaside. She slept all the way in the car , was a star all day.

Breathe in the sea air.

Wonderful poppy - love you lots

As my daughter is called Poppy, i just have to have lots in the garden!!

garden lovelyness!

The front garden

The back garden.

The housework never gets done in the summer months- well only when Ede , our pup shreds another toilet roll!!

Why waste time in the house when you can be creative outdoors!!

Wedding flowers

I did a wedding on Saturday for a lovely couple and family in Oundle -so glad the sun shone for them! I used Honesty seed pods from the garden Ammi , Peony's , old roses , Catmint ,old fashioned sweet pea , Astrantia and Delphiniums for the table arrangements.

Sunday

This is how it should have looked! The weather was not kind for our open day but thank you to all that were kind and supported us . They braved endless rain and sat and had tea and cake ( wonderful cake it was too!!) We Gardeners put up with what ever the British weather throws at us -well we wouldn't do anything if we didn't!
For all of you not able to come last Sunday we are open this coming Sunday -June 1st for Oundle Open Gardens. 20 gardens open in all.
I shall keep you posted on how much we raised for Thorpe hall hospice.
