Soothing

It was with relief that I boarded the bus yesterday morning to go to work at Norton Conyers, at the moment idle time just means chewing over the events of the past week in my mind, so thank God for the soothing routine of garden tasks. We even got to feel the sun on our backs again as the weather was being pleasant for once. We ate our lunch outside for the first time since last autumn and it was a delight to sit under the vinery kissed by the sun, with the music of the fountain playing lullabyes in our ears. If you haven't done so already come and view the garden, the main border is spectacular now, seize the opportunity to see it at its best!
