In Between You Know What.

Up this morning to SUNSHINE, it had rained most of the night but one has to make the most of it, a quick cuppa and run a cloth over the work tops, collect the keys and off down the garden for the mower..


Took a bit longer than usual as very wet obviously but two hours later and I`d got the job done, just in time as the rains came back.
The roses are ruined this time but some things are still hanging in there..


Pouring down this evening which is a shame as its Battle Proms up at Burghley and I was hoping to listen to the music in my garden but I`m still better off than some as my house is dry…..I can see some of the air display though, I really must chop the top off my hedge, lol…

Good for you to get the lawn cut before the next downpour! Is that Burghley House (?) near Stamford - or am I in the wrong part of the country entirely?! What a shame if they had to cancel the Prom . . . :((

Thats the one Sheila, I`m the other side of town but can hear the music, its still going ahead, I`ve been out deadheading my roses but its raining again now so had to retreat indoors...

Nice to be able to enjoy the music without leaving the house . . . sounds like my kind of idea!

Your garden looks lovely. It's amazing how sturdy lilies can be! My roses got a battering but the lilies just stand proud :-)

Eventhough most of us feel a bit despondent about our gardens there are still some lovely plants out there to enjoy! Ours take some finding though in amongst all the greenery!

Thanks Julie and Pixi, Wildrose my bottom half is mostly in the shade so I`m having a long wait for some of them to flower, its lovely and green though.
San mine was running with water at the bottom, still cut it though, lol, my jeans were a very soggy, greeny/brown mess...

It's difficult to get anything done in the garden this summer. Nice to know you were able to mow the lawn. I've given up ...

I think we just have to get out there in between the showers now, Lincs , but your garden still looks lovely especially that pretty penstemon.

Just what I thought Leigh, a great entrance to a wonderful garden, you must be so pleased Lincslass :-)

Those pics are fantastic. What a feast for the eyes, thank you Lincslass.

Continuous heavy rain can be so depressing, but once the sun comes out again, wow, there's always an extra special quality of freshness and brilliance to it isn't there. It creates its own unique atmosphere, one that I've always felt deserves to be trumpeted in its own right.

You have some great colour still Ll, especially love that delicate pinkish penstemon. I agree with Rosegit about the special quality of brilliance and freshness when we do get a little sun...just wish it was the other way round though:-)
