(A lot of) Rain & (a little) shine


This weekend we spent hours on gardening. (A hobbie with hidden benefits - an hour of it burns around 300 calories according to myfitness pal )

When we moved into the cottage we had a beautiful garden and we vowed we would keep it that way. Well, it only took us nearly a year to get round to it.

Here is the view from our sun room



Hopefully once (and if) the rain stops we can make up for lost time

On the wish list - lots of terracotta pots




This beautiful pot holder



A nice vintage watering can




A hanging basket full of pansies is helping what was the very messy situation of the front garden to look a little tidier




Along with these Hydrangeas

We've tried to keep mostly to a red, white and blue colour scheme. Tis the Jubilee afterall..




We bought this wooden box from a shop in East Dulwich without paying for it. The owner told us to bring him a tenner next week so thanks for that Bob.




And we've an old champagne box we've planted broad beans in - hopefully it'll look something like this.






Some blueberries, strawberries, oregano and basil in the sun room...





Perhaps most importantly we've planted a Sauvignon grape vine, big hopes for that one
