    Holy c**p on a cracker! image Why do you visit gardens? I would visit yours quite happily! That's amazing chicky! You've certainly made the most of your slope?

    Oh chicky - the bumblies  image

    Think they'd need their waterproof trousies here today!

    Although the magpies have been out. Young 'un with Mum/Dad. Quite funny,but they've  eaten my bdooly strawberries ...image image

    so I've caged the other lot and foiled them image

    Looking very lush - and nice to see Mr C's lovely handiwork there. Particularly like the 'gate' pic - leading you on  to more beyond...image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I love those walls LP  image

    My white broom was slightly later and I still had daffs in flower in June that wouldn't normally have been, but I think as the season goes on, things level out. Think the lack of rain in April and May has been a big factor as much as anything here. For my garden anyway. Depends on the type of planting too I expect. 

    Enjoy that cucumber - don't eat it all at once now...image
