WHAT HAVE I BEEN UPTO?
The weather has been superb, so I have been reading in the garden. Sorry for all the book reviews in one go. I like to do a word search or crossword sometimes. When I saw this puzzle book for the garden, I could not wait to have a go. I am still trying to plough through it. I got some great books for my birthday.

Do you get fed up going to the same garden centres? I know I do, so I did a Google search to find all the ones in Kent.

This year I wanted to create a bit of a Zen garden after seeing some ideas in Spain. We had a fantastic heat wave here last week, so I was in the garden every day… that’s why no blog posts were written! I opened up the small summer house and sorted all the painting equipment out, as I…
