We encountered more bees first thing on Saturday morning, but these were ground dwellers huddling together for warmth in the courtyard, awaiting some sunshine to warm them through. They say animals are more perceptive to changes in the weather than we are, so maybe they could sense the increased ozone of a pending storm before we became aware of it. As we carried on with our tasks the sun came out and it was soon very warm, enough to trigger a very unsettled afternoon. Norton Conyers looked stunning basking in the sun against the backdrop of a bruised and brooding sky. By 3.30pm the rain began in earnest so we abandoned gardening for the day, that's the first time I've finished early in eight months!
"Talents are best nurtured in solitude, but character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world"
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Norton Conyers is open every Saturday and Monday during the summer but also next Sunday 17th June for the NGS. Please come along and support us, refreshments are available and many of the unusual herbaceous perennials to be seen growing in the gardens are available for sale.
