Blissful!
 
I hate to sound soppy but this really is just such a special time of
year! Our laburnum tunnel is flowering, the climbing roses at the Tea
Room window and on the pillars are outdoing themselves, the iris in the
pond are going mad and the Salvia Blue Enigma is outside in pots and
starting to flower, too. The birds are currently 'hoovering' the Tea
Room lawn and the sun is shining as it follows its way to the west.
It's very hard to think of another country with more beautiful summer
evenings WHEN we get the weather right!

For Friday night 'advert' for your garden centre and tea rooms, that's one
of the best yet.

Your deserve to be packed out

Wouldn't you rather see the late evening sun setting off the sparkling
raindrops left behind by a summer shower, the smell of the freshly mown
lawns duelling with the scent from your climbing roses.
The clink of the ice against the side of your glass of G & T as you put
your feet up to enjoy the cool of the evening.

The late spring is still having an effect. The local weekly paper has an
article on the famous laburnum arch at Bodnant gardens. It was not
in flower yet! (I say 'was' not 'is' because we are getting some warmish
weather in North Wales at last, so it may be flowering by now.)

Amazing the difference just over a week makes. A week and a half ago in the Dales there was nothing much apart from celandines, wood anemones and primroses. Now it's beginning to look like the beginning of summer - meadow saxifrage, early purple orchids, bluebells, wood geranium. Still primroses, though.

Lol!! No shower yet though nothing would surprise me tonight! It's
absolutely still and a bit humid. I'll settle for the morning sun
sparkling off raindrops that fell overnight!
