In memory of Dad.....

It has been over a year now since I have last posted. My inspiration left me for some time... In memory of my wonderful Dad I now hope to pick up where I left off....

All systems go!

Well the garden is in full swing yet again and after the recent rain -blooming!

Now the work begins again...strawberries first this week...with the others coming along nicely...not much chance for a break...

But we did get the pool up and I have managed a couple of times to get in and relax!


Maybe next week we will have more time?....

Garden Visitors

We have been busy trying to encourage some different guests into the garden.....

We have some house martins already nesting ...they seem happy enough even though we are currently painting the house! We have painted round them..:-)

This is the first box of many that we hope to place in the garden.
This one was a birthday gift for me from a neighbour ...






we will see what decides to move in....

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter to all!!!

It is great to see some of the old traditions being kept in the village ....

And everything is in bloom.....

I just love this time of year when everything is coming to life...
........and we begin again...

New beginnings

Although the garden looks a little crazy at the moment with all the plastic bottles it will not be long before these little beauties will be revealed!


Under each bottle a new rose...well 95% of them anyway.... which is a good result.





The new red currants are budding nicely.....



And finally some colour emerging!

All the best for 2011!
