My day has been lovely so far!
It started off right here, in the garden....because...

I was wondering...

Just what it really was that was tickling me all night!! ;-)
Was it that cheeky Wisteria or...something else?!

Have you all been watching the Chelsea Flower Show programmes?
Or maybe you've been lucky enough to go along!
I used to so enjoy visiting and remember my first time, years ago .
On entering the flower marquee...wow those Delphiniums!
One of my faves along with...

Beautiful!
And we have baby Magpies in the garden...rather a lot of them!
No pics yet but yesterday and the day before, they were all lining up waiting to be fed!
Quite a sight.
And then one baby got stuck in the greenhouse..there's always one, eh?!

Ah, how blue is the sky!
No time to lounge around in the garden this morning.
Come with me.
I've forgotten to pick up my camera so we'll have to make do with the camera on the iphone.
I've been to Chudleigh this morning.
It's an interesting little town and many years ago, the main road to Exeter ran right through the middle of it.
And in Chudleigh there's this little place called Pottery Court.
It's quaint and it's cute...
Did I mention Magpies...?!
Vintage ones too...! Open!
A charming little step into the past!
Where Nicky creates...
This little place is an absolute delight and it was so lovely to share a natter and cuppa with Nicky.
I need to get back there with my camera, asap!
More of Chudleigh another time!
And now to solve that problem of the tickling!
;-)
What a fabulous day out - and such a treat to visit Nicky's little shop!
ReplyDeleteWOW looks fabulous.

You are very very lucky Sal to live so close to all these lovely places. Sometimes I still wish I lived in Sidmouth, I was so near to these places there!

... and I was chained to my computer, writing an article, whilst you were trolling around Chudleigh! 'S'not fair! Love that foxglove! And what a blue sky! It was hazy here this morning, then at lunch time fluffy white clouds and now wall to wall blueness.

Along with Hill House.. Nicky's delightful Magpie's nest will be another place to earmark on our visits to Devon.
