    Oh Beaus mum, I thought you would keep me company, and now you are going back to work and leaving me image Is it full or part time?

    Good morning image 

     I'm having problems posting/receiving messages at the moment. Everything taking so long or disappears off the screen  image so bear with me if things dont seem quite right image 

    When I was garden visiting last week I looked out for 'shabby chic' and saw it was mainly in the seating places - planters with lovely displays of lobelia, cosmos - soft colours in shady places, very restful. No photos I'm afraid as the tablet camera doesn't do well in bright sunlight or pouring rain! 

    If you have a moment you may wish to look at Wollerton Old Hall garden web site and Hampton Court Castle and Gardens ( this was on the 2013 gardens visited thread by addict (that's why I visited it). Stockton Bury Gardens is worth a visit, their web site belies the lovely extent of the garden and orchards.

    A long post combining several threads, sorry, but whilst I'm on  here  making the most of it image 

    Can anyone tell me what this little purple flowered climber could be
