It’s been a busy summer, which is why I didn’t get round to doing my blog. My daughter and grandson spent six weeks here and so I had lots of family time. I’ve just been dredging through the photographs which I took, and thought I would get them posted and then try to get back into more of a routine with regular posts again.
My grandson had to be occupied, so we went out for days and one of the places was Quintin, where there were lovely roses along the riverside and the bushes had hips too.
This is Charlie seriously enjoying a peach.
These were flowers in my garden this year, except for the irises which are my neighbour's, The first is a campsis which grows on my house wall.
The exquisite irises below are in my neighbour's garden.
This is a verbena bonariensis which is a delicate bloom.
And now two aquilegias in my own garden.
Primula candelabra - a gorgeous yellow which brightens up the front of the border.
Honeysuckle on my terrace wall
My beautiful delphiniums against my house wall
Some of the goldfish in my garden pond enjoying the warmth of the water in the sun.
Betsy, my Mummy goat - full frontal.
My favourite, and very non-PC starter at my favourite restaurant, Le Pelinec.
I was fascinated by the bubbles in the water as it came up to a boil in the saucepan with my breakfast eggs
These were two butterflies on a walk in the woods at
St Nicolas du Pélem.
The first is a red admiral and the second a peacock.
Two dragonflies taking advantage of the sun
A little Breton cottage by the lake at Corlay
There were probably more which I could have included, but it's a flavour of this summer and I can start on the Autumn pictures now. Many thanks to Miranda, without whom I would not have managed to do this post, as I had forgotten how to do it!
Three Beautiful Things:
1. Watching my chicks come out of their eggs in the incubator.
2. Picking, cooking and eating the first runner beans.
3. Relaxing in front of my new tropical fish tank.
