I’m feeling very English…my recent blog posts have all focussed on the weather & my garden! Well…this one isn’t much different!!
The dew was still wet on the grass & on leaves, the sunlight making everything sparkle.
The sweet peas…
The Jasmine…
…& there are thousands of these tiny buds arching over my ‘coffee corner’…each one will be a perfect white rose in a week or so!
The Aquilegia is now in full bloom…I love this delicate plant & this deep purple variety is just stunning this year!
Impatiens…or as I always think of them…’Busy Lizzies’…remind me of my Mum, so I love them!
Sadly, so does this fellow & his many relations!…but we have a secret weapon in the face of such pesky little blighters!
We have two regular night time visitors to our garden…Hedgehogs, Speedy & Spike! I am hoping that at some point, their appetite will outrun that of the slugs & my blooms will be safe!! Beats pesticides any day of the week!!
Now…I am asking for some help here! Can anyone tell me what this little fellow is? I have seen his kind many times before…I don’t think he is a Bee as such, he hovers…
There is no need to say that it is now only THREE days till we fly to Chicago…but I will anyway!!!! I am all ready but for packing those last minute bits & bobs & am just SOOOO excited it is not true! I will be back to post before we go…in the meantime, have a fabulous weekend, whatever you have planned…or whatever the weather turns out to be where you are!
Thanks for dropping by!

Isn't it great to be able to sit out in the garden.Hubby is out there now reading the paper and its only 7.30am!
Teddy prefers the comfort of my bed.
He's a hoverfly (just like you said!) See you bright & early on Monday morning for the start of our OCD tour...
Have a brilliant time! Don't spend too much ;-)
Looking forward to hearing all about it when you return!
Great having some sunshine isn't it? Hope you have a fab time in Chicago and look forward to seeing all the details when you are back x
