This morning I wandered around the garden with my camera.




















Here are the results, each of which bears a title in the gallery.
In the interests of keeping down my iPhoto numbers I only managed to cull two images from
but did remove all of those appearing in
This afternoon I watched the Women’s Six Nations Rugby match between Wales and Ireland.
Our dinner this evening consisted of chicken Kiev and southern fried chicken with chips, peas and sweetcorn, accompanied in my case by more of the Fleurie.
Your shots, and your flowers, are fabulous!
Thank you very much, Luisa
I see, you’re welcome!
You’re so welcome, Derrick!
A lovely walk in your garden
Thank you very much, Dale
Southern Fried Chicken, that’s rather American!
Indeed. Tesco’s. Thank you very much, John
Your colourful flower photo are wonderful, especially the mauve ones, mauve was Carole’s favourite colour
Blooms look good and dinner sounds yummy.
My sentiments exactly, Pat!
Thank you very much, Pat
I continued to be surprised by seeing flowers that would appear at different times in our garden mixed together at the same time in yours.
Same here, Tootlepedal. Thanks a lot
More delights for the eyes!
Thank you very much, Laurie
Southern fried chicken with chips, peas and sweetcorn sounds pretty “southern” as we would say here. Delicious regardless. Love the photos of all the blossoms. It’s beginning to be pay off season when all the hard work of cleanup makes the blooms more beautiful.
It is, Crystal. Thank you very much
Such beautiful flowers. Thank you for sharing them!
Much appreciated, Merril
Delightful flowers with beautiful colors!
Thank you very much, JoAnna
Beautiful!
Thank you very much, Becky
My pleasure, Derrick!
Your garden looks lovely Derrick.
Thank you very much, Miriam
Thank you to Jackie for her tender loving care of the garden! Thank you to Derrick for taking photos of the garden! Thank you both for sharing your garden with us! The flowers, plants, trees, garden-decorations all bring abundant joy, serenity, beauty, and healing!

PS…We have been continuing to have cold, rainy, snowy weather, so most of our flowers haven’t started blooming yet. And the trees still have no leaves. I await their arrival with excitement.
Thank you so much from each of us, Carolyn XX
Visiting your garden is like going to the botanical gardens. Good work you two.
Thank you so much, Sherry. We were only saying yesterday that it was ready to open to the public. Unfortunately, though we always welcome visitors we could no longer manage all that would go into such a big day
So many in bloom, how lovely.
Thank you very much, Sue XX
I enjoy these virtual walks through the gardens, Derrick and Jackie!

So many beauties to delight the heart and soul! The rhododendron stands out.

It doesn’t seem to matter, whatever the time of year, your garden is a riot of colour
We are very lucky with our climate. Thank you very much, Sheree
