Petunia-free area
no straight mown lawns
just nature given a free rein...
with a tweak here and there!
Take my hand and let me show you...
a soupcon of my day
don't do formal
love things that just are
growing where they will
who knows better than them?
My all time thuggerooney...
the shy
the retiring
the majestic

the moat
the Chinese bridge
seen from the embrace of
Henry Moore
nature's planting
the old Bayham Track
the Castle peeping
the visitors wondering
Chalybeate spring...
where I patiently waited for...
this. See how my hand shook.
Happy to see the gurgle of the spring.

Beautiful stroll !
ReplyDeleteJust a flavour of my Monday's as a garden guide volunteer... what a lovely way to spend a day.

LL, beautiful photos. Is there something significant about the spring and your visit to see it?
ReplyDeleteThe significance of the spring is... I'm drawn to them escpecially when they gurgle deliciously... Oh so seductively, encourging me to stoop, sip and sample. Trouble is I've been advised not to... Well only once!

Gorgeous images, especially the Gunnera, one of my favourites very alien like, I love it when it decays and then the spikes appear - quite scary but I like it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLike you Jayne, I'm very partial to plants with attitude... can't for the life of me think why?

Those people in the distance MUST be from Yorkshire as they're obviously on your case, "Eee, what's she oop to. She should be down 'ere showin' us t'way!"
ReplyDeleteLove that toady-leaved ivyflax, by the way.
Yes, I do get some funny looks; I've always enjoyed seeing things in life from a different angle! Meeting the visitors is the icing on the cake for me.

Lovely photos Lin. Looks like you are relishing your guiding job at Scotney.
ReplyDeleteI must pop over there before the summer's out - it's been a while since I visited.
Monday is my garden guide day Debs, come then and meet incognito by the spring. I'll wear a false moustache and Max Wall leggings in order for your to recognise me!
