Sometimes it's the most simple things that can keep children happy - chalking up a hop scotch game gave lots of fun at the weekend.

Scavenger Hunt Art - so my daughter tells me. As constructed by her and several friends on a lovely picnic today. 

I don't consider myself to have particularly green fingers, but these bedding plants are giving us heaps of summer colour at the moment.

A little restoration project on the seat at the bottom of our garden, well worth the effort!

Bouys by the quayside, loving being out and about on warm summer evenings. 

A little ray of sunshine and hope that after a long time away I might start blogging regularly again! 

Beautiful clematis in my Mum and Dads garden, however hard I try our garden will never have the character of theirs.
