Well all my gardening efforts have been rained off this week. Hope the pond is coming along Philomel. It would be full to overflowing here.

Here is a photo of a colourful corner which I can see from the kitchen window - makes washing up a pleasure - if anything can.

The bluebells are all transplanted from a small clump my mother brought home during the war. She said that she and my grandmother used to walk about three miles to a farm in the next valley for black market eggs and ham and their walk took them through bluebell woods, so on the way home she pulled about 6 up to plant in the garden and now there are hundreds. They always flower for her birthday which is a nice memory of her.
