It has been a long day today. Left home early and headed north to visit some old friends that I'd not seen for a while. Had a lovely time with them and it was great to look around their cottage garden. I had a difficult drive home again as the wind was so strong and the traffic was heavy, so I am happy to be home safe!
These photos are of their garden, a place that flows with the seasons and provides a plentiful supply of fruit and vegetables and a year-round display of flowers. It is a joy to wander around and discover all the little hidden gems in the most unlikely places.
A garden can bring great joy - and a lot of hard work! - into the lives of those who tend them.
Keep smiling,
Margaret.
Oh that is my sort of garden - rambling with little bits of interest here and there. And they have sweet peas flowering......my mother's favourite....unfortunately a plant I can never get to grow here in my Melbourne garden.
ReplyDeleteAnother scorcher here today - into the 30s with a strong north wind blowing. Hopefully the predicted cool change arrives.....soon :)
What a beautiful garden, how lovely to have been able to visit. The winds don't sound nice, glad you got home safely. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love to visit other gardens, and get a few new ideas. I would be lost without my garden.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that a garden like that has a wonderful therapeutic quality about it. Glad you arrived home safe and sound after the challenging drive,
ReplyDeleteThat garden makes me smile. A lot of work but so worth it! Our gardens are put to bed now.
ReplyDeleteI love the garden and the flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat garden seems so peaceful. I especially love the pink roses in the first photo. I'm glad you made it home safely.
