Tetbury in bloom

Some lovely pics there Lulu! Is that gentian in the 12th photo (hairdressers)?

Either Gentian or campanula.............??!

I'm not sure either!!! I'm getting some gentian from a friend of mine at work. I had it some years ago in my garden but it just disappeared. I may keep it in a pot this time. lol:)

Lovely Lulu, I used to visit quite a lot and it brought back happy memories.

I didn't know anything about Tetbury,Lulu..what a lovely town..so well kept,and beautiful displays in the shop windows..I loved the basket of Begonias..and the wooden carvings.are they Dolphins or Porpoises? .Thanks for sharing..so many lovely places to see,in our lovely country,despite the recent troubles..I wouldn't want to live anywhere else ..:o)

Great blog! I like the fist pic best too..nice muted colours..remnded me of Miss Marple for some reason?
Are Dolphins significant somehow..bein in the hairdressers wwindow and the church? Lovely displays..nice blog :)

Oh and please take a pic of Jazzypup..love to see her with her lampshade on! lol my friend ahd two dogs who got acid thrown on them!..they both had lampshades on and used to run down the fields..i thought it looked so funny..they got better too :)

I do like the first pic, Lulu, the paler shades make a real change from the brightly coloured baskets ... Tetbury looks a very beautiful place ... sounds like Arundel with it's abundance of antique shops! ... :o)))

Haven't been to Arundel,since the 70's Shirley..year after we got married..I took on a second job.so we could have a holiday..to Southsea...Are you playing the violin ? Lol.Loved it there,but not Southsea..:o((..with a bit of luck,the hotel is no more..!!

Me too! I love the 1st pic too! I'm putting this on my favs...so I can copy those baskets! I always do the window boxes at the back in softer colours, lilac, pale yellow and white this year...Lulu boxes next year! Tetbury looks very quaint, it must be a lovely place to live, it's great that everyone joins in the festivities! :0))

You'll be pleased to know it hasn't changed much ... the hill up to the castle is still very steep! Many shops selling antiques and lots of ye olde worlde tea shoppes ... perfect for the tourist! .... Southsea, hmm, not a place I'd visit often . . . . .

What a lovely town and lovely photos.

It is such a lovely town, I just love it. There is a coffee shop where you can sit at a table on the street and usually lots of friends pass by and always stop and say hello. Once David and I were having a sunday lunch and lots of friends stopped, come join us we said...and they did...we ended up with a huge bill!!
The dolphins have been the insignia for Tetbury for centuries and no one knows why. There is a roman connection and also coats of arms of people who used to own the town.
Thanks for all your comments! Not sure if I'm allowed to have a box next year as you have to have a house or a shop!!
Glad it brought back memories!!
A great little place to live near, all I need is an art shop there and the town would be complete for me, oh and a music shop for David and a health shop would be handy too!!
Would love to have a little mosaic shop with a studio at the back and a garden to sell flowers............I dream!!

You NEED a lottery win? lol

What a pretty town Lulu, I would love to live near there, beautiful baskets.

lovely town lulu and lovely photos :o)

Lots of pretty pics, Lulu ..

... maybe the store would sell some of your mosaics for huge prices. :o)

lol that last coment made me laf , my fav is the hairdressers window , loved it .................

Yes, premium bond would be good!!!! tet, I can hire a small shelf for £100 pm but the shop wasn't too interesting!

I really like the colours in the first photo - what a welcome change they make!

I know that HRH lives just up the road - maybe that explains the effort that's obviously gone into the floral displays? ;-)

I wonder? Tetbury always in bloom, don't really know if it's anythng to do with HRH, he and wifelett are never here!!

It's been great having a look around Tetbury with you, Lulu! :-)) I enjoyed seeing all the flower baskets - such lovely colours & designs!

Looking forward to next year now. That wildflower meadow was fab, windows not so good this year! But it's a lovely, friendly and fun town to live nearby.
