Welcome summer!

This weather is such a trial. Whilst we’ve had some lovely days with warm sunshine, we seem to have had more than our fair share of rain and chill. I have to confess that our central heating clicked in last night and I enjoyed the warm toastie feeling so much that we let it happen again this evening. It does mean that the garden is very green and the new flower bed, where our pond used to be, is flourishing. I resisted buying many new plants, just emptying pots of hellebores and acers which had seen better days. Apparently the turf has already rooted well so the lawn was cut yesterday before the rains came again. Roll on summer!
