Thursday this week was a gorgeous bright sunny day.
It was so good to get out and in the garden for a good
tidying up.
The image below is from a lovely book of
Gardenalia.
By Country Living.
This is another one of my picture books.
Great to pick up from the coffee table and get enthused a little.
Old garden tools are special.
Very old ones too valuable to use.
But great for displaying and adding interest.
I am not really formal gardener.
I like random, messy maybe, eclectic style.
Even though I have my nice set of garden furniture,
it is little collections of odd bits that interest me most.
And bunting, oh yes, nothing like a bit of bunting to
add cheer to a garden tea party.
Back entrances, that sounds a bit odd ! ? anyway
with big pots and tables with
little pots.
I love.
I like a little order sometimes, like this neat row of
containers, full of perennials.
An old staircase has come in handy
for rows of Hyacinths.
Pink is not a favourite of mine.
But they look and probably smell divine.
Pink and yellow makes me feel weird.
Do they go together ?
Not for me.
This table looks interesting.
Looks like it is made up from odd pieces of wood.
I love my trees.
I always plant trees when I move into a new home.
I would much rather sit under a tree with a gentle breeze,
and enjoy my lunch or afternoon tea,
better than sitting under a hot parasol.
Do you find they make you hot ?
Must be to do with the colour.
Now I really do love this image.
The colours are light and fresh.
Now this old London Stock brick wall is
lovely.
I would love a walled garden in these bricks but it would
cost a fortune.
The hot pink Geranium is pretty in its hanging pot.
I do have a few benches that I have collected over
the years, old and rusty they may be, but I still dot them around my own garden.
Old cushions beckon for us to
have a little sit and ponder on
all the things we ought to be doing.
This is the lovely book that I have featured
in this post.
I wonder if you are getting in the mood for spot of gardening yet.
Or have you been hard at it already?
Lets hope that we get a good summer this year.
We really should do as we have had a hard winter.
Bye for now.
