Took these last week, the old/rambling roses have finished now but they have been glorious this year. One downside of a walled courtyard though is the heat… it was ridiculous in the last hot spell, bracing myself for the next one!
Secateurs for scale! Found while gardening at a client’s Georgian house. Lots of interesting finds here — pottery, pipes, glass — but this one has me stumped. It’s heavy, looks and feels like stone. There is a folly in the garden made from medieval stonework, could it be something to do with that? Or some weird natural splat?
A decade in my garden, from its first year to last summer. Thanks for all the upvotes and kind comments on my other posts — really hoping this works as I’m having zero luck posting multiple photos!
For some reason I can’t post more than one photo, but here is my little paradise at the height of its powers! I keep moving things around…
My courtyard is tiny but I have packed a lot in! You wouldn’t think I was in the centre of a town (if it wasn’t for the pub karaoke)… it’s my little sanctuary. Worth all the hard work so today I’m going to don my bikini and enjoy pottering about in it!
