An English Country Garden

image

Now I am at my parents’ house just outside Wokingham.  Mum is a very keen gardener and has worked on this oasis for over forty years.

The garden is lovely and a place I spent many hours in my youth.  Sadly I was never allowed to put any ponies in it.  Something about wrecking and eating.  I forget.

But the garden has lovely flowers.  It seems to be summer here in Englandshire whereas in Shetland we still have bluebells and it is still cold.

There is a lovely oak tree and watching the  evening sun shine through the leaves is magical.

Veleda has lived here for as long as I can remember.

And joy of joys, I have met the family Patterdale terrier, Pip.  He is wonderful and just my kinda guy.  I expect I will take more photos of this darling chap.

    I wish my garden looked as lush as this. Is that a bird in Valeda’s coiffure? That’s a very beseeching look Pip has. He’s gorgeous.
