Well one of the gods has been kind this bank holiday, warm sun and we are able to barbecue. Visit the garden centre and generally enjoy the world. I could flood the blog with tractors going by yesterday, annual event but will suffice with 3 or 4.... Groups of people along the road waving them through, bad-tempered people in cars behind. The Sun Inn had even brought out its umbrella for people to sit under, and when we had visited earlier, a father and his two children eating a meal out in the sun said, they had been swimming in the river at Sinnington and that the woods were full of flowers. The children larked around as children used to ;).
What other memories have I captured from yesterday wandering round the garden with a cup of tea,
These bluebells that appear in our ultra mowed lawn, which was really an old meadow in which a pony was kept. Now are they the real ones or the Spanish intruder from the clump in the flower bed?
What else, Lady's Mantle leaves always beauiful and then there is 'Beth Chatto' geranium plant, she was on early morning tv yesterday Beth Chatto, with her beautiful garden....... The above video, not very good, should I invest in a camcorder I wonder, trails the birds I hear, and if you look carefully, you will the jackdaw going into its nest in the tree.
And finally the barbecue master taking it easy.....
My geranium and violets are almost mid-level now.
ReplyDeleteA spurt of warm weather and everything suddenly starts to grow, and the weeds have less space to fill.
DeleteI love alchemilla - its only fault is that it seeds everywhere and one plants this year means a hundred next.
ReplyDeleteIt will fill your garden up though!
