About Me
I started this blog in 2008 to record how my garden developed, it quickly became a gardening journal and I have loved it every since. I am passionate about horticultre despite working in higher education administration. However now, 2013, I want to re-engage with my early hobbies of sewing, knitting and crochet so this blog will start to have a wider range of entries that aren't all garden related.
I love reading your comments and I do hope you enjoy the blog.

A pleasant evening stroll? Christina
Lovely, the countryside doing what it does best…
What is the flower in the bottom picture?
Hi Gardeninacity – I have no idea of what the last plant is. I suspect some wild form of clematis. The photo was taken down the road from me where the hedgerow is a little wild and uncared for, all the better I think
Thanks – just wondering. Those first two I recognize – you can see them in open fields around here – but the third was new to me. Very pretty, though.
Gorgeous pics
I think you’re right that the last one is a form of Clematis, probably Old Man’s Beard AKA Clematis vitalba
Yvonne – NZ – How pretty although what is a weed?. If bottom one is Old Mans Beard in NZ a TERRIBLE WEED – It has covered thousands and thousands of hectares of bush. The birds spread it and when it seeds EVERY seed germinates and produces more and more strangulating vines.
Looks like my meadow at this point….lovely
How lovely.
They are lovely flowers, must of been a nice walk.
