Garden notes, flaming June

June was far from flaming.  The only way to describe June as flaming is to use the word as a curse!  The month of June has been disappointingly wet and windy.  The flowers have battled on against all the odds, and it has been hard to watch them being bashed by wind and heavy rain.  But generally they have triumphed, and here is the proof.  June in our inner and outer garden, from start to finish.

      The garden is tiny with some planting in random places on our driveway outside the garden but it has managed to produce some lovely things! The rose is Lichfield Angel. Gorgeous girl! A

    WOW - you may have had a flaming June, but the garden and surrounds look amazing and so so pretty. The doggos look like they are enjoying the sunny spots. During these challenging weeks and months, it is great to have a garden I say. It and walks have kept me sane.

    Love to you all S - xxx

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!

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

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.
