…this view today…It is beautiful, however telling myself it is mist (NO it is fog !) does not disguise the fact that Autumn is here x
I must finish off telling you how we are developing the garden… remind me lol .. while I was doing my morning walkabout I spotted these lovelies….
We brought a lot of ferns from my dads garden and some “friends” hitched a ride x It is lovely to see reminders of my parents coming to life in our new garden.

… not normally a TV watcher, however, after the news of the death of The Queen I knew there was going to be some going on x
SO, it was off to the stash to find SOMETHING to keep my hands busy……… NOW I have a new blanket for my granddaughter…
JIt kept my hands occupied, used up (a very small amount ) of the stash… and gave me a diversion when it all got overwhelmingly x
There was some of this sparkly yarn left..
… so she has a bunny for her Christmas box too
Stay safe

..of year when the new school uniform has been bought…
…and SOMEONE has to sew on the labels…..
I am doing a few each day to TRY and make it less of a chore . There was quite a bit of under the breath muttering going on … mostly related to the number of items THEN I realised that next year at this time there will be a new member of the school community when the youngest grandson starts …… and that means TWICE AS MANY items and labels! SO I am now enjoying there not being so many! lol
I managed to get a third pot to use around the last drain pipe..
and potted it up..
The heatwave found us …. despite our effort to hide! PHEW !
Stay safe x

..UK there has been a heatwave …. In the south. There have been warnings and health awareness notices. Here in Cheshire, and other points north ,we had …. THREE days of heat and then THREE WEEKS of rain ! Hey-Ho x mind you it is lovely today x
However back to what I have been doing in the garden, ….between rain storms that is x
As we come onto the drive … past the new Alpine, rockery…. the drive way continues past the back of our house and becomes our neighbours drive. This is a “dead” area for us, just about the only time we go out there is to bring the bins in and out. HOWEVER we do se it every time we drive in. SO I bought some of these…
I love them! Whoever developed them gets my vote for a special medal x lol x
I have 2 in place at present with lavender…. And as this area gets whatever sun there is they are LOVING it ….. and the smell is wonderful x
Stay safe

… been off line I have spent quite a bit of time in the garden. Well, that is we have begun to turn the field around the house INTO a garden.
As we come through the front gate there is an area that is dry and sloping…. Ideal for alpines and rockery plants. SO, I set my minions (daughter and son-in-law) to work digging out weeds and rubble … they did a wonderful job ,including moving weeds,rubble,ivy and 2 rolls of barbed wire! They also found the remains of an old wall .
THEN it was over to me to visit the garden centre to “find” some plants …. Let’s be honest …it was NOT a chore ! lol
This is how it is looking today….
I need to get some more gravel to discourage the grass and weeds and some edging stones, , I am very happy with how it is coming along.
AND … it looks a LOT better when we turn into the gate.
More adventures in gardening soon.
Stay safe
