It's summer at last!


The right hand side of the garden
At last, a few days of sunshine! Our lovely friend Sue from New Zealand is over in England for her daughters graduation at Oxford University - well done Corrie on your M.A. Hons (Classics) have a great day on Saturday. We sat in the sunshine on Sunday afternoon and had a good old chinwag. I've had a very bad cold/virus so haven't been in the garden for a while, hence no blog. All that rain we had plus a few days of sunshine have brought out my pink hydrangeas but the bush seems to have doubled in size compared to last year. The lillies in the borders and pots are beautiful and the purple hebe is dripping with flowers. I love the combination of white daisies, white lillies and pink carnations and roses which are in pots and my little rose border are a treat for the eyes. The borders on the left side and the right side are looking very nice and here are the photos I took to-day.

Looking good Mary, a few days of sunshine make all the difference don't they? Did you turn your hydrangea pink on purpose? I've forgotten what one uses to do that.
Mine are not quite out yet, I have two lacecaps which are out but not coloured, the same with the two blue macrophyllas, not yet turned colour.

Oh Mary, it is looking great!!!
I can't believe the size of your hydrangea :o here they grow nowhere near that size!!

Hope you are feeling better now and manage some time to enjoy your beautiful garden, and finally the sunshine :)
