Based in Ickleford, Hertfordshire, UK.
My own little allotment of land (in whatever form it takes, whatever I do with it, or dream of doing) serves as a springboard for creativity and happiness.
Looking around lovely gardens, especially those open for National Garden Scheme with occasional visits elsewhere.

So fresh – that pink against a blue sky.
Thanks … I was thinking that it is hard to beat as a combo, but then I thought about poppies or sunflowers against blue skies and really, everything is better against a blue sky!
True! Hope you get some more blue skies soon where you are…
Better late than never, I guess! It is nice to see summer flowers, long gone here on this frigid day. The temps are predicted to plunge tonight down to 10F (-12C) yikes! Last week, we broke records for warmth, and I wonder if this will break a record in the other direction. Yo-yo weather is unsettling to this gardener!
In spite of several frosts we still have some flowers going strong. I am not sure that we have ever been that cold here in Cambridge (-11C is the lowest I remember). We seem to be breaking records for rain this year.
That’s lovely. It’s very reminiscent of Japanese Anemones. 🙂
Thanks. I know exactly what you mean with your comparison. In fact, one of my favourite photographs is of massed pink Japanese anemones with the sun behind them.
We’ve a lot of white ones in our front garden and my favourite pink ones have unfortunately allowed themselves to grow near our side door where I can barely see them! Have you the pic of your massed pink Japanes anemones in your blog? I’d love to see it!
Lovely. Sadly frost finished mined off a couple of weeks ago. xx
A sad moment in the year, but I am getting to point of wanting to tidy up now!
