Show Jumping

It's a clear round for Emma and Toby the wonder hobby-horse. James appears to have lost his mount, but Maisie is on hand to step in.

Extension!

Well, it might not be ours but it's exciting to see the Daveys extension taking shape. Our turn next year. Thanks for a lovely bank holiday weekend x

Caving with the Caves












During our trip out West, we ventured over the border into darkest Wales to visit Jim and Costa. After admiring their beautiful stone cottage, still very much a "work in progress", we went for a beautiful walk in the valley where much excitement was to be had exploring tunnels and caves.

Gorilla hunting!

Blogged a little late due to having left the camera in darkest Wales... A large number of gorillas, in an array of unusal colours, are currently to be found around the streets of Bristol. We spent a lovely day with the Daveys spotting as many as we could find.

Ging gang goolie

Enjoying the long summer holidays dans le jardin :)

Kite

Now that the harvest is over, our garden has extended by some miles into the surrounding farmland.

Flowers of Sissinghurst












Osteospermum whirlygig, salvia discolour and Lizzy and Lou! A joyous visit to the smallholders fair at Sissinghurst, sitting in a field listening to Sarah Raven's words of wisdom on the plight of our bees. More mid to late summer flowering nectar rich plants in your gardens please!
