A further...

...wander around the garden.

Taking photographs of the garden I'll be leaving behind...

Wild Strawberries

Clematis

Rosa - Schoolgirl (climber)

Yellow water iris (in bog frog and newt hole)

Tradescantia (named for the botanist Trandescant)

Alliums

Jacobs Ladder

Flag Iris (sorry, I can't remember which variety)

The ancient Rosa Mundi

My favourite roses are the old-fashioned highly scented ones, and though some have a short flowering season, others if dead-headed will flower for longer periods. In my new garden I have plans to support their flowering with the English varieties. The present owner doesn't like flowers, being a shrub and tree person...with very few flowering shrubs even. We inherit a couple of lilacs, a hebe and a ceanothus as flowering shrubs, other that that...she cut the wisteria down to a stump, but it was still there, so hopefully we can resurrect that by putting it on a trellis away from the wall.
Plans...plans...what fun!

Okay...

...it's definite! I really shouldn't plan my days! Having told someone I would be making beads and then decorating today, and then starting the making, I get a phone call from the estate agent, someone would like to come to view! Okaaayyy...when? Panic hits. Not 'til 3:30 this afternoon. Yay! Time to put things away, and tidy up the decorating...just leaving the explaining of odds and ends around...

They duly arrived a little late, and seemed to like the house, the fact we having planning permission in place, we have wildlife coming into the garden, etc....now it's a waiting game again...not that they've sold, but they have to move as his job's now here, and not where they're moving from. Just do they like this over what else they've seen? A waiting game again...
