Gosford revisited

It's a few weeks since the dogs and I strolled around the grounds of Gosford House. It is the most peaceful and relaxing place to be. Every time I go, there are new things to see - today speckled wood butterflies, young herons, the mass of white flowers on a Chinese dogwood tree, Cornus Kousa 'China Girl', and a pond covered in water lilies. We came back through the woods to see the foxgloves in bloom. I have watched them growing since early spring.

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week. The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds. Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
