Idyllic

Yesterday I found some time to tidy up some of the borders in the walled garden. I had a few flowers I wanted to get planted, to give them chance to take root before the weather warms up.

I definitely feel that the garden is my happy place, just pottering about in it is delightful, so calm and peaceful.

I have formulated more of a plan now for some changes in the garden, although I’ve not committed it to paper or made a drawing, I will need to get Brian to help me with that. We can start to put into place some of the ideas in my head, as the rest I don’t see happening too quickly.

Last night we had a huge thunderstorm, so I was really glad that we got the plants in, as they got really well watered.

This morning the sun is shining through dappled cloud against a blue sky, and the air has warmed, but it is humid from the storm, almost tropical. As I write we are sitting in the garden, enjoying a coffee, and listening to a cuckoo, our blackbird and a multitude of other birds which I don’t recognise, but sound idyllic just chirping away. I think they must be loving the freshness of the earth, and how the recent storm has brought all the grubs and worms out.
