Thank you. I pop in and out of Instagram… if you click on the links on the blog page you can see the caption.
Very observant.. indeed a Roses marmalade jar, left behind by a visitor, emptied and repurposed!
Despite the lack of rain we have flowers, for which I’m thankful. I’m pleased you enjoyed the pics.
Happy for you ☺ Much as I’d love the tanks & river to be replenished asap I’m patiently enjoying our gentle rain. Hopefully the valley will be green for your visit.
I’d love a week of gentle rain… But a few cloudbursts will do instead!
A lovely gentle post dale and so good to hear about your daily activities as well as study.
Thank you. A lot of the satisfaction & inspiration comes from the influence of you and other likeminded people, in my approach, kitchen and garden… where your gifts of saved seeds have become baby cos leaves and kale beginning to sprout.
Sounds like you are really immersed in what is important in life.
I am pleased that your course has brought you so much, knowledge and friendships that will last for a long time. The simple flowers are beautiful, and the seeds to come will be very welcome too.
I was only saying today I must save some seeds. Amongst other things the sweet peas are laden with pods. Although I think self seeding will lend the vege garden its own style!
‘Small pleasures’, Dale? What a ‘Great pleasure’ it is to wander over somewhere where it is peaceful and productive and gentle, travelling away from what seems like an increasingly maddening world . . . love your photographic journey showing the beauty of the smallest blossoms we may not always note . . . oh, and would you send just a few sprinkles of rain down south: September said a firm ‘no’ to even ‘Camelot rain’ . . .
Thank you. I think we have seen the last of the rain for a while but it was welcome and useful. We keep up with the sometimes ‘maddening world’… its frustrations felt by so many of us. But we aim for some quiet space & life which allows us welcome respite… sometimes in the form of the joy of seeking out & appreciating those small blossoms.
Very nice; love the pictures and the Taplin quote. Thanks for posting.
