How fascinating, dear David! And having almost all the geological periods represented in your coastal wanders, how amazing. I'm sending you by return a little piece of Carboniferous (Dinantian) limestone (more healthy than Blackpool rock 😉) X 🌄🎢🌅🙋‍♀️

Thank you so much 🌸🤗She's a mystery to me, Helen! As @venetiajane.bsky.social might remember, her first bloom of the season looked rather different 🙃Here's a wee contrast and compare. I love that our plants always keep us guessing! 🌸xx

It's weeks and weeks since any 'proper' rain here, dear David - we were hopeful yesterday, as thunder rumbled around us... but only a few minutes of light rain ensued 😔I must confess, whilst I deeply care about sheep, I don't actually own any! I do love their gentle souls X 🐑💜🤗🌿🐑🙋‍♀️🤗

It's lovely to be able to share our #rose garden wanders, Venetia! And a most strange thing has happened with my Nostalgia rose. Last year, she looked like the first photo and this year, she has perhaps reverted to root stock! 🙃🌸🌿xx

💜🌱The wild #orchids are always such a magical sight, Venetia! I think the very dry weather hasn't done them any favours this year, but hopefully you can make out the smaller ones hiding in the grass 🔍💜🌱xx

💚That is very true, dear David - and I'm so sorry to hear about your lovely tree 😔I'm sure Mother Nature will recycle its heart and soul into another Being 💚🌳I used to love a little 'witch's cottage' near us, but it was razed to ground by new owners X 🍀💜🙋‍♀️🌿🌼
