busy day








Set up a cleaning station near the back door, with trusty hand made soap on the ready.....
Note the little hand prints left by a little enthusiastic artist some years ago. That same little artist is all grown up now. 


A little cutting from a mature lemon verbena plant brought home. 
Now lets see if she shoots....

 

Beautiful Iris flower has paid us a visit for a few days.






Have been digging a trench a round the pottager in an attempt to stop the couch grass from sending its runners through the soil and in amongst the herbs and vegetables. The soil is damp and therefore easily dug up with the spade. It should also be a lot  easier now to trim the edges of long grass with the mower instead of pulling them out by hand from the previous brick border.


A peep through the window into the old studio.


Hibiscus in bloom.



Miniature rose growing in the most unexpected of places. I can only guess it loves the warmth of the stone border.



Old rose and  Abraham Darby Rose .




Just a few autumn blooms so brought one inside.



Patched sheet on the line. Because why buy a new one when I have a sewing machine and a healthy collection of fabric remnants at my disposal?
