What a lovely day it has been

Waking up this morning after not a great nights sleep and with that horrible knot in your stomach, today was my wife Kim’s appointment with the oncologist after her scan last week. What a mind blowing relief when she said there was no signs of the cancer on her brain and the tumour in her chest cavity is still in a stable condition. A few hugs and tears, the lovely thing is that the oncologist feels it is ok for Kim not to have any more chemo whilst this virus is still on the go and that we don’t have to lock ourselves up for the next three months, as long as we are careful.
Another nice thing is that the garden is starting to show signs of life, I have managed to plant all the plants that I ordered, i still can’t believe what came and hopefully if half of it comes out the garden should look quite nice for the coming summer. I have posted some pictures below of how things are coming along in there at the mo.

Anemone poppy, must start learning plants names by looks instead of grabbing hold of them and getting a recognition photo with the app, especially as it said this one is highly toxic

First show of tulips

The scent coming of this scimmia japonica bush is amazing and it was covered in bees last Monday, apparently the bush in the pot next to it is the female version, as it gets berries later on in the year

Little pot of polyanthus, must be a few years old now

Few plants in their pots

Nice new fence panels, even used the damaged fence to make infills for the bottom

Flower of the magnolia tree

Peony tree, I got two last year and named them after Kim and me, that one there is Kim reshooting again, quite soppy really :) :)

Hoping these bearded iris do better this year

Do like a lupin

Must have about ten peony plants around this area, expecting great things from the temperamental little blighters
