Random ramblings from the cluttered brain of a Brit ex-pat North Devonian trying to keep cool in the steamy summers and warm in the frosty winters of The Great White North.

Blue
If your favourite little tree dies.....
.... paint it blue to match your favourite little garden potting shed.
Seen on a recent garden tour.
This is a scheduled post while I'm away.... please leave me a comment. I'll be back to read it in a couple of days.

Junque by any other name
On my way back from the cottage in the summer, I drove by a fascinating brick Victorian house on a street corner in a quiet country village, and I just had to turn round and investigate.
It wasn't the house that caught my eye, it was this!
This was the outside, right on the street. I think it used to be the back yard.
And this was the inside.
There was hardly room to move between the stacks and stacks of assorted "antiques". I wonder how long it took to amass this huge collection of "stuff"? I spent a happy half hour, or perhaps it was more, just wandering round. I resisted temptation and didn't buy anything, but I really need to go back and have another look!

Bike in a Garden
Encountered on a recent garden tour....

Pre-scheduled post - I'm away from home for a short break. But leave me a comment anyway!
