I’m very excited. The restored art deco doors are being hung this weekend & these original handles will be fitted. It’s been very strange not having a bedroom door!

It’s good new re Wilson. Although there’s evidence of struggle, the specialist thinks it’s because of the weather. The tree is structurally sound & he’ll check it again next year. 🌱

Morning all. It’s a lovely sunny day here today & the beautiful nerines are blooming. The tree surgeon is due to visit this afternoon to give the verdict on Wilson. I’m trying to be cautiously optimistic. 🤞🏻😊🌱

Planted up this old bottle with some cacti & other succulents. The cacti were grown from seed so I hope they will like their new home. 🌱

Morning all. Sunny day today so an opportunity to get some garden tasks done. First on the list is to prepare the wildflower orchard for next year- clearing fallen fruit, scythe down the base & prune, all ready to sow more native seeds. But before that there’s time for a brew 🌱

It’s been a beautiful sunny warm day here today. There’s a single bloom on this rose which is attracting lots of wildlife. 🌱

One of the things I love about this time of year is how the garden slowly transforms & foliage becomes a focal point. #GardensHour 🌱
