Sunny Days

Hello everyone. 

Firstly, D and I want to thank you for all the encouraging comments about our doll house. We look forward to showing you the next room.

We have finally had a hot and sunny week here in our small corner, and both D and I have been taking advantage of this by being outside as much as possible. There is now a lot of colour appearing in both the front and back gardens.

These flowers are growing in the front garden.

Here are some of the plants currently flowering in our back garden.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that we were working on the L-shaped part of the back garden outside the back door. Hubby has been very busy putting together another raised bed, which I quickly filled. He is now working on a second bed to match on the other side.

These last few pictures are of the alpine bed on top our dustbin area. It is pretty to look at and the plants have loved the sun this week.

On Monday, D, hubby and I took a trip to Bewdley, which is not far away from where we live.

Lots of people were enjoying the dry Bank holiday weather, and there was a significant increase in the sale of ice-creams that day. The highlight of our visit had to be watching the geese on the river. They were very noisy with their youngsters swimming nearby. The geese were also spectacular show-offs when coming into land, with feet first and bottom and tail feathers acting as the final brakes.

D has also been spending some time baking in the kitchen, and we all enjoyed her chicken, bacon and leek pie. 

I had half eaten the meal before remembering to take a photo!

As well as all the gardening, I have taken full advantage of the weather to do as much of the bulkier items of washing as possible, which included the covers for our three-piece suite. They dried brilliantly outside. It has been a good week here.

With the weather set to change again back to more rain, there will be more indoor crafting and some work in the greenhouse for us this next week.

D and I wish you all a healthy and happy week whatever the weather happens to be.

B and D xx
