Arrivals

Pat's family are coming down en masse to visit the area, and will be dropping in.  All the work we have done to make the place pretty will finally be appreciated by some of the people we love most.  There are still lots of things I would like to have got done, but I needed to rest today, and so they never happened.  Never mind.

The garden is just coming to fruition in time for our visitors.  The first roses have just arrived - this is 'Winchester Cathedral'.

And this is the new hydrangea I bought to replace the bottle-brush plant that didn't survive the winter.  The moles undermined it at one point, but liberal application of firelighters down their burrows seems to have saved it for the moment!
