We love this corner of the garden at this time of year, it’s a lovely spot to sit at the end of the day.. and unwind with a large G&T. . . I’d be lying if I said we go there most evenings through the summer! but as gardeners we are usually still pottering at drinks time.. and if I’m honest.. I wouldn’t have it any other way! #HappyFriday and Summer Solstice wherever you are x . .

Yesterday, Inside our ‘Old Greenhouse’.. . . . and gardens, we held a charity ‘Afternoon Tea’ event to raise money for our local Ruthin and Denbigh Friends of Tenovus Cancer Care. We couldn’t have asked for a better day (despite the brief thunder storm!) I was completely blown away by the sheer efforts made by all the ladies and gentlemen, whom had given up their time to bake, clean, wait on, park cars, and much more before, and on the day. It also really warmed my heart, to see so many people come here and support this amazing event. . . So I’d like to say a big Thankyou to everyone that helped make it happen, and those that supported this event. We raised about £1807.70 for @tenovuscancer

This rose bed.. . . . By far the the most scented and special place to be here now.. . . Rose ‘Gertrude Jekyll’ (foreground) R. ‘Darcey Bussell’

Looking from a different perspective.. . . . Not me.. but a different pair of eyes and hands, took off, with my phone to take some pictures of the garden. (With my permission of course!) This is an unusual and rare moment for my middle teenage son! He wasn’t gone long and didn’t take many pictures, but the few he took were beautiful and nothing like what I would have taken.. Thankyou John x . . Now and then, one of my 3 boys will do something little.. that warms my heart and makes me smile.. it’s those small things in life that make a big impact.. . . What small things have happened to you this weekend that has made you smile? Photo credit @jwill2004x

Loving all of the Clematis flowers here.. . . . This beauty is called ‘Broughton Star’ and lives up to its name I think!

Let’s just sit and take a moment.. . . . While the cascading Clematis and creeping ivy surround you .. hope you’re enjoying this lovely bank holiday weekend somewhere green and blue!
