My Little Garden 30th July 2022 It’s only the first week of the school holidays, but time seems to be running away with me. There has been childminding, gardening, photography visits and ‘just like that’ we’ve arrived at the weekend. The last weekend in July in fact. …

My Little Garden 23rd July 2022 Did anyone enjoy our heatwave at the start of the week? Not me that’s for sure, but on a positive note, it brought a wealth of bees and butterflies to the garden to sample the delights of the summer flowers. I was very lucky…
