RECENT PICTURES FROM THE GARDEN.

As we had warm and sunny weather lately, the garden came to live again, earlier than usual, it was unusually warm for March. But the good weather is about to end and Mr Frost will be back. We urgently need rain as everything is bone dry, despite all the rain we had during Winter. I have sandy soil in my garden so it rapidly dries when we get sun and wind.

The bees are having a ball in my skimmia bush, I love the sound of the bees buzzing. And the flowers smell so nice. This small bush is planted next to our terrace so it is nice sitting on our terrace with a coffee or a drink at the moment.

And my chives is on the grow again.

Have a great week all !

NEW LIFE

Outside it’s chilly, windy and wet but it is too warm for Winter so lots of plants and tree’s are starting to grow again. But the problem is that the weather can change for the worse and we can still expect snow and severe frost untill mid May and some years even later. Then all that new life that is growing now will be dead but most plants can grow again later in the year.

My garden looks dull, apart from the evergreens there is nothing to see. I had lots of rosebottles and red berries but they are all eaten by the birds now.

**EUONYMUS** **EMERALD AND GOLD**, **ALWAYS LOOKS AS IF THE SUN IS SHINING ON THIS LITTLE BRIGHT BUSH**

**SKIMMIA, ALWAYS THE FIRST TO BLOOM, HERE THEY ARE STILL IN BUD BUT THEY’LL SOON START TO BLOOM**

**I HAVE 2 OF THESE HUGE AUCUBA BUSHES IN MY GARDEN AND IN WINTER THEY LOOK GOOD BETWEEN ALL THE GREY AND BROWN**

HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND TAKE CARE.

OCTOBER IN PICTURES

**THE SUN MAKES EVERYTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL IN OCTOBER.**

**ANNUAL MALVA, WHAT A PLEASURE TO HAVE IN THE GARDEN**

**LEAFLESS BUT STILL PRETTY IN THE SUN**

Today is November the 5th, the weather has changed and we had a first light night frost, it is a lot colder during the day too. I wonder what Winter will bring weather wise as it is always a surprise now. When I was young, a long time ago, we knew what Winter would be like, it could be cold or horribly cold but never warm and sunny, never 20C° + on a Christmas day.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND, KEEP SAFE AND ENJOY YOUR GARDEN WHENEVER YOU CAN.

AT THE MOMENT IN MY GARDEN

I took a few pictures of how my garden looks at the moment, there is not a lot of beauty left but that is normal for October. The weekend was sunny and warm but now it is raining very hard. Not that I mind as we need this water for the garden.

**THIS IS A SMALL BUSH CALLED**: EUONIMUS EMERALD N’GOLD

**SKIMMIA KEW GREEN, READY FOR BLOOMING IN MARCH !!!!**

I find it always sad to see all the flowers going, the leafs falling and most of the garden boring and brown but as you can see, the skimmia is already ready to flower in Spring, isn’t that amazing !!?

Have a great week and thanks for visiting.

IT’S DEFINITELY AUTUMN

Today is September 19th and we can feel, see and smell Autumn is here. Summer was cool and wet with here and there a few hot days. I have been taking pictures this month and you can see how nature is changing. Despite all the rain we had it is still dry but we live on sandy soil and it doesn’t keep water for long.

**WHEN THIS SEDUM IS IN BLOOM SUMMER IS AS GOOD AS OVER**

**DRY GRASSES IN FRONT OF A MARSH AND A LITTLE SPIDER**

I hope you”ll all have a great Autumn. Thanks for visiting and keep safe.

A WALK IN A NATURE PARK

A few days ago we had a warm and sunny afternoon and we went for a walk in a nearby nature reserve to take some pictures.

**WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING DIRECTION AUTUMN**

We didn’t see the cows but we know they are there, it is a big reserve. Alas we didn’t see any of the bigger animals, only birds and insects and lots of dung, really a lot !

Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting !
