Blooming Marvellous...

Hi folks...isn't it great that the weather's taken a turn for the better again...a bit of an Indian Summer but in my neck of the woods it's unlikely to be breaking any records in the temperature department...just pleasantly warm and comfortable...perfect for doing some tidy up work in the garden. I'm a real outdoor person and despite the craft stuff piling up...I've been treating myself to some relaxing time off sitting in the sun and raiding the fridge for an alfresco lunch...
and Mother Nature never ceases to amaze...after days of relentless rain the flowers in the garden were in a sorry looking state but after 2 or 3 days of sunshine they've made a blooming marvellous recovery and are pointing their heads towards the sun again...
the hydrangea that hasn't flowered since I pruned it back 2 years ago (apparently that's a big NO NO) has also made a miraculous recovery...
and my favourite hanging basket resident of 2014 must be this gorgeous Fuschia coloured Petunia with petals like velvet...
I've decided to close the "Cards and Crafts for Christmas" Give-Away at 8pm tonight...busy busy week kicking off on Monday and you know me and my memory so I'll announce the winner tomorrow...get it parcelled up for the Post Office run first thing Monday.
Hugs Kath xxx
