In the garden...



This is my favourite spot in the garden right now.




And this...





... has been my favourite Foxglove in the garden this year!

A beauty!




A few weeks ago we made a new herbaceous border in the garden.

I hadn't expected it to happen but we needed

to get rid of an old woody hedge and an apple tree, which was

way past its sell by date.

I planted the border with a mixture of finds from my favourite nursery and

a few bits which I'd sown myself.




And now it's just starting to take shape.




I love pottering around in this little area right now!
























I've been glad of the rain, just lately, to give these new additions

a good start to life in my garden.




Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Tomorrow, I am off on a jolly or two... but closer to home!!

  4. I may have said it before, but I'll say it again - Your garden is beautiful! Love the foxgloves - I love anything spikey or spire-y, especially when it's in that sort of muted, under-stated colour! Dreamy!
