Early this morning I watched a recording of last night’s rugby World Cup match between France and Italy, and before my afternoon’s viewing of the games between Wales and Georgia and England v. Samoa, walked around our warm, sun-filled, plot to photograph
another selection of unlikely garden bedfellows, each of which bears a title in the gallery.
This evening we all enjoyed Jackie’s meal of her well filled mound of beef and onions stacked beneath short crust decorated pastry; crisp roast red potatoes; Brussels sprouts, carrots, and broccoli al dente; and thick, meaty gravy, with which she finished the Blush and I finished the Bordeaux.
Flowers look gorgeous and dinner sounds delightful.
Thank you very much, Pat
I think the blooms must be too happy on your garden to leave.

Thanks very much, Liz 🙂
Beautiful display of colours.
Thanks very much, Rupali
So nice that you are not always working in the garden, but also just enjoying it!
Beautiful pictures
Thanks very much, Michelle
You’re welcome, Derrick ????
Dinner sounds very tasty!
Thank you very much, Kim. It was.
The unlikely garden bedfellows are lovely! I especially smiled at the Pineapple Plant and The Generous Gardner. 🙂 I always love seeing Mrs. Popple! She’s so beautiful! 🙂 And the Virginia Creeper is such a great climber! 🙂
Can I have seconds on the Brussels Sprouts, please?! 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks very much, Carolyn. The sprouts were particularly tasty X
Beautiful.
Gorgeous flowers.. Derrick… And delicious evening meal Derrick… I must get back into making a meat and potato pie again… You’ve inspired me, or Jackie has tell her .. 🙂 xx
Thank you very much from us both, Sue X
The rich diversity of beautiful blooms in your garden never ceases to amaze me!
Thank you so much, JoAnna
You are welcome!
It is a refreshing flowery treat. While the longer focal length has muted the background in most of those shots, the bokeh in the Virginia Creeper image is beautiful.
Thank you very much, Uma
It is always a pleasure seeing the flowers blooming in your garden!
Thank you very much, Anne
The pineapple plant is very unusual! Presumably, no real pineapples!
No – named for its appearance. Thanks very much, John
It was very nice to see your sunny garden.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
We watched it from the atmospheric Rugby Fans’ Village in the centre of Nice – obviously delighted with the result.
Indeed. They are strong contenders given that S. Africa don’t have a matching kicker
Fingers crossed ????
Your garden still looks very summery. Such beautiful flowers, and your header photo is stunning!
Thank you so much, Merril. The light was perfect for that one
You’re welcome, Derrick. It was good of the sun to cooperate.
Your garden is more beautiful than ever! And your photography captured the beauty stunningly! Thank you for sharing. Happy Sunday, Derrick!
Thank you very much, Jan
Your flowers (and your photos) are amazing!!!

Lovely captures!
Thanks very much, Val
That first picture is exquisite!
Thank you very much, Laurie
Your photos are glorious, Derrick. Definitely a cheerful assortment.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I am still enjoying all the colorful blooms from your garden, Derrick and Jackie! A beautiful segue into the autumn season.
Thank you very much from us both, Lavinia
Oh, Derrick, your garden amazes me this time of year. Everything looks so gorgeous and fresh. Bravo to you and Jackie. xo
Thank you very much from each of us, Jodie XX
Oh, happy day!
Thanks very much, Rosaliene
That’s the thing with Jackie, driving, cooking, photographing, gardening . . .
If she’s not busy next week do you think she has time to sort of the England XV? They need help. 🙂
I don’t think anyone has that much time. Thanks very much, Quercus
Yes, sorting England out would be a big job.
I viewed them individually, but I especially love the single gallery arrangement of all of the photos together here.
Thank you very much, Crystal
The pale pink rose is breathtaking.
Thanks very much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
So, so beautiful!
Thank you very much, Ribana
