Rain stopped play......

The past couple of weeks have splashed by in a soggy mess.

I've hardly had time to read any lovely blogs, let alone sit down to write my own.

Rain, Footie on the TV, Wimbledon, Leavers Balls(Number 2 son), travellers return(Number 1 son),summer colds, more rain and Mike the Painter turning up with a spare couple of weeks-and did I want them!!!!

To keep me going, and until I get my blogging MoJo back, I've found some super cool images of some super cool white interiors......

No colour needed with beautiful tall ceilings and painted floorboards......

Isn't this chair delicate?......

It looks like everything here has washable covers!......

And lastly the perfect clap-board guest house......

Without my practical hat on I think an all white interior would be just stunning!

Have a lovely weekend!

It's been a bit busy......

......in the garden!

Last weekend, we opened our garden (along with others in our village) to the public in aid of charity.

It happens every other year, and the third Sunday in June is preceded by lots of trips to the garden centre, intense scrutiny of weather reports, and dawn watering sessions with watering cans of course because of the hose pipe ban!!

Here are a few shots of the fruits of our labour.

Because of the huge amount of rain we've had everything looks beautifully green and lush - confirming that every cloud has a silver lining!

Lavender and box, my new favourite combination......

We are lacking floral displays, either the rabbits - Flopsie and Mopsie ate them, or the wind knocked them over!......

But I love a green garden......

Yes, here's one I planted earlier, and it is a bit wonky!!......

It was a great day......

And almost 2,000 people came through the garden!......

We can relax now until 2014 ......

Hope you all have a lovely day.

The Great Escape......

Long weekends,half term, boys home from their travels, mountains of washing and ironing and cooking, cooking, cooking!......

Would anyone notice if I just crept away?......

Any one of these spaces would be a perfect place to escape......

They'll never find me here......

Not bunting-ed out......

......yet!

Most of the UK has been festooned with bunting and union Jack flags for the jubilee weekend.

It has all made for a jolly scene - in fact we have all gone a bit bonkers for red, white and blue.

Designer - Vivienne Westwood......

I think we are so lucky to have such a bright, versatile and distinguished flag.

Our streets look much brighter with the bunting and flags - perhaps they should be a permanent feature.

Happy Diamond Jubilee Your Majesty.
