Our Meadow

I love a meadow full with wild flowers, they are so delicate in their appearance and yet robust in nature, it makes for a very good combination. Over the last few weeks, we have had quite a lot of unseasonal rain, and we have not therefore got out to cut the slope leading up to our pool. This has had a great result, as through the long grass we have lots of different meadow flowers blossoming.

Our intention today was to cut the grass and trim around the laurels we planted earlier this year. What I suggested though to Brian is that we actually keep some of the slope uncut. The flowers look beautiful and the butterflies and bees are loving them, so we have kept swathes of the slope as meadow-grass.

What I also did was cut a few wild flowers to have in the house, I will arrange these tomorrow.
