The sun emerged quite late today. After I had opened the gate for Aaron.
These are a few shots I took on the way there and back. As usual accessing these two galleries with clicks will access titles.
Much of the rest of the day was spent listening to the Ashes Test Match.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s choice chicken jalfrezi; marvellous mushroom rice topped with a perfect omelette; and a tasty paratha with which she drank Blue Moon and I drank more of the Saint-Chinian
Absolutely stunning garden. Very jealous.
Thank you very much, Gary. You know how lucky I am
Absolutely gorgeous. It looks like acres of a botanical garden!
Doesn’t it look huge? I see that garden every day and feel like I rarely see the same view twice.
That is encouraging, Jodie. Thanks very much
: )
Total plot 1/3 of an acre, Jean. Thanks very much
Stunning photos, Derrick.
Thanks very much, Jodie
You’re welcome, Derrick.
On this dreary and rainy day, thanks for brightening it up, Derrick. Gorgeous photos!
Thank you very much, Jill. We have such a day as yours now
Garden is looking magnificent!!
Its best year yet, Pauline. Thanks very much
The photo gallery from the garden is beautiful, Derick and Jackie!
Thank you very much, Lavinia
I like the gazebo path view the best today. The cricket must have been a bit painful to listen to.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal. It was, indeed
I so love your garden Derrick but it’s a just reward for all your and Jackie’s hard work.
Thank you very much, Sheree
I’m rather taken with the gladioli against the weathered wood. Wonderful!
I liked that one, too, Linda. Thanks very much
Just looking at pictures of those paths and flowers makes me relax. Can’t imagine how wonderful it is in the plant, so to speak.
Thanks very much, Lisa. It certainly is
Wow
Thos was amazing.
Thank you very much, Flower. Praise indeed from you
Thank you for the tour of your magnificent garden!!
Thank you very much, Liz
Why do we have filled in wells to be found everywhere? It is interesting your garden also has one.
Your garden is a miniature woods, but your camera has it mapped.
Thank you very much, Uma. From the days when that was the only water supply in rural areas over here
Today, this morning I intend to go for a walk on an old railway track (encoreune) arranged with flowers plants. I’ll think of Jackie, you and your beautiful garden seeing all these plants
Very many thanks, Yoshimi. Enjoy your walk
Your gardens go continue to remain beautiful
Thanks very much, Gary.
Absolutely beautiful Derrick – Such a pleasure starting my day by admiring your garden, especially on this very wet morning! Scuppered all plans once again!
Thanks very much, Sue, Sorry about your rain. We started out wet, but it seems to have cleared up. Here’s hoping yours will
Showing signs of clearing up now!
🙂
Garden is superb quite unlike the criket!
Quite so. Thanks very much, Andrew
Beautiful as always, but the day lilies are especially striking.
We like them, too, John. Many thanks
Wow! The pink and white gladiolus is simply glorious. 🙂
But then the entire back garden is also.
Out of respect, i will not mention the cricket. OOPS!
Sorry that just slipped out, i shall not mention the cricket for a second time then….. D’OH!!!
😉
Two Daily Funnies in one set of comments. The gladiolus is Priscilla 🙂
Many thanks! 🙂
Your garden enriches the world with vibrant colors, beauty, and peacefulness!
Thank you for sharing!
HUGS!!! 🙂
Very many thanks, Carolyn X “Ah, that’s nice” says Jackie
Your garden always looks lovely with all those blooms around
Thank you very much, Arlene
Your post reminds me that I need to visit a garden soon.
Thank you very much, Rupali
Your garden inspires me so much, Derrick.
We are pleased. Thanks very much, Cheryl
I love gladiolas, I have them myself, but I wish the bulbs would bloom more than one a year. It’s not like we have a freeze hear or anything. The dormant time seems so long.
Yes. We get round that by having ones that bloom at different times. Many thanks, GP
Such beauty
Thank you very much, Mrs W
Thank you
Your welcome
Splendidly magical! I especially loved close-ups of the gladioli.
Thank you very much, Dolly
My pleasure, Derrick
A truly beautiful spot in a world full of chaos. It gives me great comfort to spend a few moments here. Thank you so very much for sharing Derrick.
Thank you very much, Jerry
Such a lovely walk, thank you for sharing it with us, Derrick 🙂
And thank you, Julie
You opened your gate to a magical space. Your garden is so beautiful. I enjoyed the walk. 🙂
Very many thanks, Merril. Nicely put
Great photos, great garden. You spoil us with some much beauty.
Thank you very much, Quercus. It must be shared
🙂
One advantage of following bloggers from overseas is that we get to see the flowers during our winter. It helps us to maintain our faith that the seasons will turn. Brilliant stuff Derrick.
Thanks very much, Paol. All year round seasons work both ways of course
Yes you are so right! I love that my New Zealander blogger friend’s photos are of warm sunny days when I’m sitting here shivering. 🙂
🙂
A fairytale 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you very much, Ribana
Always wonderful to admire your garden.
Thank you very much, Drew. I’m only pleased you can see the pictures
Me too. LOL
