Pretty Garden Florals

Being married to a landscape architect I have a great appreciation of gardens and outdoor spaces. One thing I have learnt along the way - is that no matter how small your space is - there is always potential to create something beautiful. I have seen tiny courtyards and barren backyards transformed into a lush oasis of calm and tranquility. I have watched neglected decks turn into inviting places to while away a sunny afternoon. All it takes is a little bit of imagination, some hard work and a wheelbarrow full of plants!

Sunlit Days

 

There's something magical about sunny days in the country where the morning sunlight streams through the windows, the grass glistens as the sun hits the morning dew drops and fields of flowers positively glow in shades of gold!

Country Retreat

Nothing beats a weekend escape to the country :- breathe in the fresh air, stretch forgotten muscles, smell the roses and dust off the cobwebs. Indulge in some good old fashioned home cooked food :- think pies and stews, roasts and casseroles. Finish off hearty meals with pudding and custard then relax in front of the fire with a glass of port and let your thoughts drift far away from the city and the maddening crowds. Sleep soundly under goose down quilts and wake to the sound of chirping birds and sun streaming through the window.
