The Garden
Here is a first sneaky look at my garden. Or should I say a little spot in my garden. Both this chair and table used to be inside at Kew but when they moved over to Thame, we struggled to find a home for them inside. So for a few weeks they sat outside on the patio looking a bit lost. Until one evening to find that S had found the perfect home for them under the little tree in the middle of the garden. I was very impressed! It's the perfect spot for little nephews to sit and have a picnic when they visit. Not, I hasten to add, with the embroidered cloth on the table! That is going in the web shop, hence the photograph. The thing is now that I think they need to be a different colour. Not only do they look a little stark, they are also getting a little bit dirty. I'm thinking a nice soft sagey green, or maybe pale blue? We've been working quite hard getting everything tidied up outside but now we need to get planting. S is very keen on his grass and spends hours keeping it looking good, so I have decided I'm going to be in charge of plants and we definitely need some more. Although it is a modern house, the garden has quite a cottage feel to it and I want to emphasise that. Despite the fact that Mum is a fantastic gardener, I'm a complete novice so definitely need some advice. Any suggestions for easy, and relatively quick colour greatly appreciated! Next week we're both off work, so I'm hoping we can make some progress with both the garden and some jobs in the house. Although given the weather forecast, it might be more house than garden. I'm also planning on finally publishing the website! It's all done, and I already have some product in the shop, but I have things to finish off next week and pop in too. I'm pretty happy with the way it all looks. Just a bit of last minute tweaking! Tomorrow we're at a Wedding and I'm hoping the rain will hold off for the day. I love a good Wedding and hope it will be a lovely start to our weeks holiday. Whatever you're doing this long weekend have a lovely time and I will be back with more garden photos and hopefully a website announcement next week. xxxx
