Garden in the sunshine

Thought I'd post a few more pictures of the garden which is looking so lovely right now. I never tire of our garden - it is full of interest and different little areas which spring into life at different times. It is quite hard work but I like spending time out there. It isn't a posh neat garden so it doesn't matter if a few wild things take over. It always looks nice if the back lawn is cut and sometimes that's all we have time for. We had a small garden at our last house so it's wonderful to have all this space. I love to sit in the kitchen or the small sitting room and just look out at the back garden. It's very beautiful and I think we are very lucky indeed.

The ponds is greening up, watched over by a little person ever hopeful of the fish food leaping out of the pond and landing in her mouth!

Let me out, I want to go and run through some tunnels!

Lovely colours

I thought my Bessie mini rhododendron was resting this year but I was wrong - she has started to flower to keep Lizzie company!
