A Rare Sunny Day

Hi Cinders.
Your garden is looking beautiful.
Wonderful clematis and heucheras :o)

It really is! So colourful and such a lot of interest. I would love a wander around all your paths Cinders! Everything looks really healthy and full-on! Well done :D

Yes I second that Cinders I really enoy a visit to your beautiful garden it was a real pleasure.

Beautiful garden Cinders.
No evidence of the bad weather we have been having, it all looks lovely :-)

Such a beautiful garden Cinders !

You lucky lady Cinders, the sun has just appeared in the last few mins, its nearly time for it to disappear behind my neighbours rooftop still good to see though, your garden is looking great and I love to take a wander with you...

You've a gorgeous garden Cinders - everything looks so lush!

Thanks all, you are all very kind and complimentary, and its appreciated. Just have to mow the lawns and finish off the edges, ready for the judging on Monday for the village flower show competition. A tough job to beat the lady that has won for the last few years, her garden is very formal and 'just so'. Whereas mine is a cottage garden, but its the taking part in these village things that counts. Karen my paths are very short, but you are welcome.

The sun was much rarer here,Cinders..never showed once..rain and cloud ..but tomorrow is going to be different..so they say !
Well,what a joy to look at your lovely garden ..it's just so full ! and everything looks in such good condition..a labour of love,and it shows :o) Good luck for Monday..x

Thanks for that Sandra. Its going to be ok from now on according to our weather man. So get the shorts out.

looks great up to Thurs night /Fri - tends to be set up as all summer has been damn high drifting back westwards

I don't think so ,Cinders..re the shorts ! Lol....might manage a skirt instead of jeans :o)

Beautiful Cinderella...looking at your lovely garden, you wouldn't think the weather has been so unkind....everything is perfect...:>)

Lot's off beautiful colours, makes my garden look bare:-)

Moti, thats probably because I had been round cutting all the rubbish blooms off, but hey, not perfect .....

Sharnford thank you, my problem is that I just keep putting things in, so no bare patches and no weeds, just slugs and snails....

How lovely it all is. I really love that path across the lawn with little bites out of the circles - how did you so that?

Thanks Stera, we actually bought them like that. It is a bit different, and instead of a straight path we made it curved. I'm pleased you like it.

Lovely Cinderella, good luck with the village show, they are bound to be impressed - a lovely well cared for colourful garden on all levels.

Colour and interest around every corner - how pretty!

Thanks Neellan, I hope you are right.

Thanks Wildrose.

Could not sleep and have enjoyed looking at your lovely garden.

Thank you Jen, you'll have to catch up sleep this afternoon.

You have a wonderful garden Cinders, lovely blog :-)

Thank you so much SL

Definitely a Gold from me Cinders the layout the planting in fact everything about it looks so interesting and inviting, love looking at your pics.

Your garden is absolutely beautiful

Thats nice Stroller, thank you. Thanks Clarice too.

I love your garden. What is the blue/lilac clematis. I would love to get one. No, correction, I need one!!

Thanks Groovyjan, the clematis is Perle de Azure. It is lovely isnt it.

Off to Otter nurseries tomorrow, hope they've got one. If not I shall have to order it. Thank you for such a quick reply.

Cinders
You are a worthy winner with Goyer's regardless of what the judges say

Oh Brian, thats kind. That means a lot too.

Otter Nurseries ! I love it there. Always call in there on my way to the west country for lunch. Hope they have one there for you Groovyjan.

Your garden is always so pretty. I enjoy seeing your Heucheras. They look so healthy and thriving :o) That blue Clematis behind them is a wonderful colour. I bought a new Heuchera last week - Lime Marmalade ... I'm trying not to get addicted to them lol but not very successfully !

I love your garden Cinderella, so much to see...:))

Thank you Michaella, it is so full, would like a bit more ground, but not as much as you have. Getting too old for it now.

Glad you like my garden Hywel, those light coloured heucheras really light up the garden, you will be pleased with Lime Marmalade, but don't put that one in full sun as it will scorch. I put a picture of Strep Katie on for you today.

Looks absolutely stunning Cinders, I will keep my fingers crossed for the garden comp but you are a definite winner in my eyes:)

Thats kind of you Nana. Thanks. Hope your arm is better now. I sometimes get something a little similar, when I spend too much time on here I think !!

Stunning garden Cinderella.

Thank you N3tyy

Hi cinders, your garden is beautiful, your hostas looks great I have to stand mine in a copper coal bucket to keep the slugs of them.

Thanks Taz. I have gravel all over the top, and put slug pellets all round the rim, then just have to do a daily slug patrol, but I think earwigs are another thing that makes holes in them.
