Thought I would show you how the flowers are doing in the garden, which is very well especially with all the rain we are having!

My Hydrangea (above) and the Pansies (below)

The other Hydrangea and Pansies

My Lavender it its pot is doing well.

This is my hardy Geranium, I put this in last year and it flowered a little bit but this year it has done really well.

The Fox Glove just coming out.

This is my Birthday Present from our good friends, Pat & Alan, we also go out for a meal for our Birthdays as well.

This lovely blue Agapanthus is from Jayne as part of my Birthday present.  James (her son and Eldest’s Best Friend from school) is a Plantsman and got it for me and I am going to put it in a pot as our soil seems to kill a lot of things.

This is our Pond and I wanted to show you how full it is after all the rain we have had!

This is my Clematis which I thought had died last year and as you can see it now has gone mad with all the rain!  It flowers in the Autumn with small bell like flowers and I will try and get a picture of them.

Jayne and I had a lovely lunch at a pub called The Grouse & Claret out in Derbyshire and a lovely drive there and back, although it was not sunny!  So much for Summer.  I think our summer is going to be like this the whole way through with rain and cooler temperatures, although it is supposed to be warmer towards the end of this week and the weekend.  It will be, of course, because we are at a swimming pool for our swimming club Open all day Saturday and DH is at another pool all day Sunday!  Just when the weather will be good to get some gardening done! The following weekend we have Saturday available and then Sunday will be the start of the Village Carnival so nothing will be done that week or the following weekend!  Hey ho!!!

Happy Wednesday. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
