It's been a very wet week up here in the North West so I've snatched a couple of photos in between the wind and rain (Claudia found us yesterday I think). There's obviously not much going on out there right now so here are a couple of hardy flowers still hanging on and some lovely … Continue reading Six On Saturday – 15 November 2025

Very brief participation this week. Six photos for Six on Saturday. The campanula had been very slow this year. Just getting its first flowers. The hydrangeas are coming along - still a good month away from full blooms I reckon. My dahlias and gladioli are still growing well. Just one yellow aquilegia - the other … Continue reading Six on Saturday – 14 June

Six On Saturday – 17 May 2025
Another completely dry week here in the North West but the forecast is showing the start of a wet spell coming next week. The garden desperately needs it. We haven't cut our grass this year yet, unlike our neighbours who are now sporting a lovely straw coloured lawn! We'll probably cut it on Wednesday, just … Continue reading Six On Saturday – 17 May 2025

It's been a very dry couple of weeks here in the North West. Very chilly nights and not that warm during the day either but that is changing again from this weekend I think. I'm starting to water every couple of days, but for various reasons I've not planted much new stuff this year. The … Continue reading Six On Saturday – 10 May 2025

Where did summer go?
Another summer has nearly gone and I've not done any updates here. It's been a tough old spring and summer for me. I have been to almost as many funerals this year as I have in the rest of my life - losing so many family members and friends in such a short space of … Continue reading Where did summer go?

I haven't done one of these for a while, and this will be a quick one. I'm attending an online Menopause festival today - learning lots and remembering that my garden is the perfect place to go and take a breath when the realities of being a perimenopausal woman start to get me down. Six … Continue reading Six On Saturday – June 18
