Monday’s Meander Round the Garden
Having decided not to move house I thought I’d better start the autumn tidy up! I’ve found a gardener to help me too, an old nursing friend called Sally has been doing gardening for many years, she’s going to come … Continue reading
Wednesday’s Wander Round the Garden
For a few days last week we had a bit of an Indian Summer, or that’s what we call it over here, a spell of unseasonably warm weather in late September early October. I’d just put my summer clothes away … Continue reading
Monday’s Meander Round the Garden
It was surprisingly pleasant in the garden today, I say surprising as the weather forecast wasn’t too promising for most of the week – mind you here in the UK the weather forecast is taken with a pinch of salt! … Continue reading
Tuesday’s Totter Round the Garden

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
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
The garden is looking very autumnal now, the nights are drawing in and the tidying up in the garden continues. There’s still colour and interest though… These nerines came from my mum’s neighbour, we gave her a pile of garden … Continue reading
