Monday’s Meander Round the Garden
I’ve made fairly good progress this week in the garden with several hours over the week. I’m still weeding and tidying, I’ll probably still be doing that in March when things start to appear again! I’ve mainly been working on … Continue reading
Monday’s Meander Round the Garden
I’ve not managed to get out in the garden much this week, partly because of family commitments and partly because it’s flipping freezing!! I haven’t quite acclimatised to winter temperatures yet! The drop in temperature has meant some ground frost, … Continue reading
Wednesday’s Wander Round the Garden
I meandered round the garden on Monday, but then didn’t have chance to write a post, so we have Wednesday’s Wander instead! It’s amazing the difference a week makes in the garden at this time of year, last week the … Continue reading
Monday’s Meander Round the Garden…and Up the Lane!
I took our dogs for a walk down the back lane on Saturday and the colours were so lovely I went back with the camera. It looked even better when the sun tried to shine but of course it gave … Continue reading
Monday’s Meander Round the Garden

Monday’s Meander Round the Garden.
I’ve spent a fair bit of time in the garden over the last couple of days, mainly weeding with a bit of moving and tidying up too. We’ve had some nice sunny autumn days this week. I’ve been trying to … Continue reading

Monday’s Meander Round the Garden.
I rather like having a wander round the garden after a holiday, seeing what’s changed, what’s appeared and what’s on it’s way out… …the roses are not bad for half way through September. This one is called Champagne Moments, one … Continue reading
Monday’s Meander Round the Garden
I had a couple of good sessions in the garden this week, tidying and clearing. There’s plants and shrubs that needed a serious cutback, or moving, ready for new plans for the autumn and spring. I gave the drive a good … Continue reading
