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.

    1. 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

  2. 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

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.
