What's looking good: in July 2016

But part of being a photographer, Michael, is have the "eye" to see things and you obviously have the "eye" . Sheal, you will notice, has the "eye" too with all the great images she has posted.

 

We got back from holiday and there had been not the slightest drop of rain during that hot period. The garden is suffering and I'm now giving them their drinks.

If you have a headache you can sit on this bench. The whole of the front of it is flowering feverfew.

Thanks.

We had it open again at the beginning of July but for one of Mrs Shiney's flower arranging clubs. It was their annual buffet and drinks party . I think there were about forty of them

It would be nice to do it in midsummer as well but it's just too much work and organisation. We'd need a full time gardener and an event planner . It takes us months to get the May event organised and then we couldn't do it without all our friends that help.

We do have an open invitation to anyone who wants to come along at any time. They only need to contact us to see whether we're here. GC friends are always welcome and tea, or even lunch, is easy enough to sort out. Anyone that is passing is welcome to pop in as well. We do have the occasional coffee morning for charity when there are Mrs Shiney's crafts on sale as well. @Beckie76 has been to one of those. A couple of members have also been to one of Mrs Shiney's health seminars (includes hot lunch cooked by me ).

Between all that, our holidays, keeping the garden going and all the different clubs that we run or belong to we don't get much time - and everything takes longer nowadays
