In the brief sunny spells recently this garden ornament has sparkled and lit up the garden, lets hope that the persisent cloud soon lifts and glorious sunshine will return! Have a good weekend.

This beautiful courgette flower will grow into the, lets be honest, not quite as good looking courgette!

I've always loved watching sailing boats, and living where we do its a short journey to enjoy them.

Found this long forgotten strawberry plant in the border, the fruit was delicious, even the tiny third that I tasted after being shared out!

Congratulations to my oldest and dear friend who gave birth to a baby girl at the weekend, warmest love to your new little family.

"Mighty oaks from little acorns grow" and I hope she does... Have a good weekend.

My Mum, 64 years young and still does herself the most glamorous manicure!

As you may have realised there are many things that I love about the summer, the sky looking as pretty as this at 10.00pm is another one.

Tricky things fords... you stumble upon them while travelling and weigh up whether or not to cross, we have attempted to in the past and sometimes regretted it, this time we found an alternative route!

I love these cars especially the old original ones, they always seem to have that cool surfer/beach vibe when driven around in the summer.

I think I have mentioned previously that I love different lettering and typefaces and this signpost today definately caught my eye! Have a good weekend.

The calmness and beauty of The Broads is maintained with a positively leisurely speed limit of 5mph!

We've spent a wonderfully nostalgic day taking a train ride in North Norfolk, the stations and the train itself felt like time had stood still for decades, I savoured every detail of the vintage surroundings.

I didn't realise until today just how much my daughter was following in my footsteps... as I was collecting flowers from the garden for arrangements in the house she was busy creating this!

My shady but 'colourful' spot in the garden on Saturday, wasn't the weather fantastic?!

What a glorious, hot, sunshine filled, cloudless, blue sky day it has been - this is how summer should be! Have a good weekend.

Another of my summertime pleasures is watering the garden in the evening when the heat of the day has subsided, a chance to clear my head and lose my thoughts in the steady flow of the water.

I have recently learnt 2 things about presenting a natural history photograph within camera club competitions; 1) The insect/animal should be 'doing something' and 2) the image should be entitled with the correct name of the subject. So would "Bee in the Hollyhocks" pass? I don't know!

Grown in and picked from my garden this morning - how chuffed am I?! Another one of those 'smells as good as they look' shots!

We had a trip to the funfair at the weekend, and I'd forgotten just how much 'fun' it is!

Oh how I wish that the beautiful fragrance of these blooms could come across the internet waves! I love the gorgeous colour and every year they give us a beautiful display in our garden. Have a good weekend.

Aren't these just the cutest little feet in the cutest little flip flops?! This girl is building up a shoe collection to rival her mums!
