Fridays flowers.. . . ..It’s so exciting to start adding dahlias to my buckets of flowers from the new cutting garden.. . . While I was out gathering all of these beauties and dodging intermittent rain showers, I couldn’t help thinking to myself how far we have come with the cutting garden in only 6 months. Also how massively grateful I am to the wonderful friends that have helped make it all happen. . Breaking my ankle in April brought a huge setback and none of this would have been possible without some very special people. Big Thanks to.. Gabrielle, Mel, Claire @simoshroom Rosie @rosiefarey Wendy @landerwendy Gill @gillian_hodson For all your help and contributions. Not forgetting my darling Tom x Bring on the next 6 months! Have a great weekend

A sneaky peek at the new cutting garden.. . . . It’s mostly planted on the right, near and beyond the plane trees. (More pictures in my stories too) . . . I’m really looking forward to showing it to those of you that are coming here for our floral workshop with @fierceblooms on Tuesday 27th August. All of the flowers we will use will come from here and Kathryn’s canal side garden in Nantwich. There’s a couple of spaces left in the afternoon and the evening too, if you’d like to join us contact Kathryn at @fierceblooms to book your place.

It’s teeming with busy butterflies inside our walled garden this year! This Peacock is a real beauty..

This is what we look out onto every day.. A view we’ll never tire of, it changes with the seasons and lifts my spirits.

If this was part of our garden I’d get nothing done! It’s very tempting to have something similar inside the walled garden.. somewhere to cool off at the end of a hot day.. then there’s the reality of installing and maintaining it all (says the voice of reason!) . . . Maybe just keep it as a holiday memory.. and have a small water feature with a few pine trees instead! Hope the sun shines down on your weekend ☀️

It’s not all about the garden and flowers . . . ...having 3 wonderful sons with different talents and personalities help to jazz up my life! To those of you that that follow my stories, you’ll already know my youngest son plays the piano.. I am truly blessed.. being a mum of 3 boys (almost men!) is the best. Bring on the Summer holidays!
