Ups and downs

The clematis climbs ...

and the poppy falls.

The flowers don't last long but aren't they beautiful.

Going to a wedding and we're ...

... eating up the strawberries.

Not many left now.

... eating up as many courgettes as are on the plants.

... stripping the mange tout* of the seed pods.

And bagging up the last of the petal confetti. The confetti is dried petals from roses in friends' gardens (and the park) and flowers from our garden.

Bags are almost packed (crochet hook and wool included) and passports ready. House and pusscat sitter sorted. See you next week.

Next!

Read and enjoyed. I used to have a beach ball similar to the one on the cover. I also had a bucket and spade and little paper flags on wooden sticks to put on my sand castles. I rode on the donkeys and dug channels out to the sea. Not many people could walk on pebbles bare footed but my friend and I could. We also swam in the sea - no supervision, and went for long walks along the beach searching for treasures.

PS - Jeanne, I have replied to your comment in an earlier post.

A for new Adventures

Please excuse the 'gardening' thumb nail. I've just pulled up a row of mange tout that have gone over. I'm saving the seed for next year. 

The lady receiving this card is an ex-colleague. She's going on to the next chapter of her life.

I'm also sure she's now going to 'have a great time'. Her leaving present is a voucher for a garden centre as she loves growing flowers and veg.

Summer Lovin'

There's soon to be a wedding so I got cracking with a card.

There's star confetti in the envelope.
