An English garden on a rainy day.

On the day I arrived in the UK I went to Knightshayes Court in Somerset. What a beautiful place and even more so I think on a rainy day. The house will be for another trip but I did have the opportunity to visit the walled kitchen garden which was fabulous. You go through the archway in the wall and enter into approx 1 acre of rows of vegetables, fruit trees and herb gardens. It was like stepping back into medieval times and was lovely to look all the plants and appreciate the hard work that goes into these gardens. These are just a few pictures I thought to share with you. Enjoy.

In The Garden

This year I bought myself an inexpensive digital camera and have so enjoyed taking pictures. I have found that when you view life through the camera lense, it takes on a whole new look.

My garden this year got away from me. It's time to divide the perennials so that they can bloom again. I was becoming a bit despondent that it all looked so 'blousy' and then I went out and started taking pictures. Looking at the whole back-yard is overwhelming but when viewed through a camera, I could see there is still hope!

These "Lamb's Ears" were taking over and I was ready to rip them all out. But...they seem to have a place too!
