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.
