New Header for Summer

This small corner  of our large, partly unruly, garden, just encapsulates my love of colour and contrast so here it is on my blog.

My life is one of organised chaos. Had my husband not piled those garden chairs up and placed them just so, they would surely have been scattered about the place, possibly upturned, legs pointing to the skies, like a series of struggling beetles. Even with his ‘tidy minded’ help, I love the fact that everything appears to be jostling for space and that the gate you see dividing the back garden from the front is not really a gate but a hastily erected contraption of wire and wood that used to be a rabbit run and now prevents our pup from straying into the drive. We are getting proper gates some day soon but, until then … well, that’s the story of my life really …

So, hope you like the new header  – roses, lavender, rhubarb and an upturned wheel barrow – there is something quintessentially English there.
