How does your garden grow?

Oh how much better everything feels when the sky is clear blue and the air is warm. How are you all, my sunny smiley readers. To ask if you are enjoying the sunny interlude would be silly so I won't but I trust that you are all soaking it up as much as you can.

Sunny weather means time in the garden for me, particularly when I am waiting for payday and need to avoid spending money. It's probably un-natural to enjoy my garden so much at such a young (ish) age..but I am what I am. I don't make any apologies for it. The heart wants what it wants.

This evening I took a little wonder around with my camera to capture my summer garden this year. It's looking lovely in the sunshine, I must say..

I spotted this little guy getting intimate with my lavender. It's smelling wonderful
at the moment (the plant..not the bee)

My climbing rose has finally learnt to climb and now it has outgrown the 7 foot trellis and
is now reaching on up into the blue sky. 

Beautiful penstemen, I adore the colour on this one.

Obligatory cat photo, he's such a poser is that Mr Austen.

Thank you for your wonderful book recommendations in my last post. If you missed it last week and you have a fabulous book that you think I should read, do please let me know. I am currently avidly reading 'The Language of Flowers' as suggested by the wonderful Jem from Beautiful Clutter. She was spot on with this recommendation as I had been thinking of reading it anyway.

Besides reading and enjoying the sunshine, I have been coming to terms with the fact that change is afoot..both at work and in my personal life. Not bad change, not at all. Just some things that will make a real difference and I am excited to see where it leads. (Not the work stuff, that's pretty boring). Change may also be on the horizon in other ways. I am considering upping sticks and moving to the country and I have been pining over beautiful homes in Sussex and Surrey. It's defnitely on the cards! On a less serious note, I have also been getting busy with some rose decals and decorating any glass vase, jar or drinking vessel that I can lay my hands on. It's so simple and so effective. Have you ever tried it? I will post my results some time soon. But if you are following me on Instagram then you may have seen my little sneaky peak.

And that is all for now. What have you fine folk been up to? How are your beautiful gardens doing these days?

I am wishing you a splendid sunny week whatever you have in store. Do please think of me as I prepare myself to battle the tube journeys to work and back again during that big sporting event that is starting on Friday. Roll on August 10th..that's all I can say.

With love,

Lexie
