Hi there everyone 😀
I wrote this post early this week as we are off up to Yorkshire today, so I was trying to get ahead.
The theme for Astrid’s Photo Scavenger Hunt this week is ... Rain ... and whilst we most certainly have no shortage of that at the moment, it’s not something I tend to photograph ... normally opting to hunker down and stay dry.
I did think I might end up giving this week’s challenge a miss but on Tuesday the heavens opened again and I decided to just take a couple of snaps with the iPad of the garden ... from the upstairs windows. Its all looking very green out there at the moment, with that initial flush of spring colour having moved on, leaving plenty of lush foliage, whilst we await the burst of bright colours that herald the summer season.
This first one is from the bathroom window ...
Lovely garden. I see you have a laburnum. We had one at our previous house but I'm not going to plant one here as there are fields bordering the garden areas and I don't want to be responsible for killing the animals. Hope you find some dry weather in Yorkshire!
ReplyDeleteYes I know that a laburnum can be a bit risky but hopefully any passing wildlife is mindful to avoid the seed pods. Fingers crossed tomorrow maybe a bit drier ... at least he waterfalls will be looking good 😃
DeleteI love your garden. It looks so inviting from all angles. That is some rain cascading down your kitchen window. I too am itching to get out and get on. Enjoy your garden (when you manage to get out to it!). x
ReplyDeleteWe are away this week and I’m really hoping we can get on with things when we get back ... I have so much that needs planting out 😃
DeleteYou have a beautiful garden!
ReplyDeleteThank you Elena ... it is certainly starting to come back to life now with all the rain we’ve had 😃
DeleteLooks a lovely garden Carol & I've skipped this week as we had visitors for the weekend & for some unknown reason a few internet glitches, so will have to do some catching up now. Enjoy Yorkshire & say hello to it from me, someone who adores it & being married to a Yorkshireman I know it quite well from many visits. Take care & hugs.
ReplyDeleteAh thank you Susan. We are in the Yorkshire Dales and have spent the weekend visiting waterfalls. The weather hasn’t been as wet as expected and we’ve managed to avoid the majority of the rain. I am also married to a Yorkshireman so we have been revisiting some of his old haunts. I am sure there will plenty of Yorkshire content featuring on the blog in the next few weeks so hopefully you will enjoy them. Take care and thanks for commenting 😃
DeleteLovely photos! I know it's been raining a lot there and I'm sure you're tired of it, but it sure does make your garden look beautiful. I hope it's drier for you by now so you can get out there and do your thing!
ReplyDeleteWe are just back from a week in Yorkshire and there has been plenty of rain. The garden is looking very lush and green. We have a couple of weeks of sunshine ahead I believe so planting out is most definitely in the cards 😃
