With all five mini roses blooming at the same time. it has truly been an amazing summer of gardening. I have also been able to add a Bird House, which features nicely in the back garden, and visible from the front door. Enjoy the views!

So I had my first proper barbeque with Cish and family….naturally he did all the cooking and I entertained the kids and the chickens. Look at all the lovely food!
