Glorious gardening...

During this glorious weather I love nothing more than pottering in our garden. I can easily lose an entire Saturday pruning & shuffling pots around. I find it immensely relaxing & love opening the back door each morning to see the latest flowers that have come into bloom. I'm also obsessed with taking photos of these developments. For those of you who are not flora & fauna inclined,  look away now...

I better go & check today's developments, there are some roses about to come into flower...

Best dressed at Cannes...

I have to say that I've been a bit disappointed with the frocks on show at Cannes this year, although I have managed to generate a style crush on Diane Kruger. As far as I'm concerned she didn't put a foot wrong in the style stakes.


Here she is in all her glory...

A Cotswolds weekend

We escaped London & headed to The Cotswolds over the last bank holiday weekend. Although we didn't have high hopes for the weather, we were pleasantly surprised & the sun even made a brief appearance. 


We ticked off Roman villas, chocolate box villages & other must-see landmarks in the area but I'm in my element when I get the chance to visit a garden. Here of a few pics I took along the way.
