Myerscough College summer garden, marigolds and lavender. Well it has been a little while since   last blogged so lets have a catch up shall we? Well last week I spent a lovely day with Pat ,Joanne and Lucy at Cobble Hey Gardens, up near the Forest of Bowland.  It was gorgeous and a perfect summer day with blue skies and sunshine the whole time we were there. Lucy skipped ,ran and danced along the gardens and enjoyed seeing all the animals, especially the new born piglets. We then finished off our day with lovely cake and drinks at the tearooms there and of course came away laden with jars of local jam and pickles and a few  little bits for Lucy. The piglets at Cobble Hey... just so cute! He looks like a Figurehead but he is actually standing on the bank!Taken at Garstang on boat trip. It has been pretty wet lately and the frogs in my garden were hopping all over the place in the rain. Canal scene on the Lancaster canal The yellow poppies have been lovely in the gard...

Carol Klein was there giving a talk . Old roses A cute little group What a great day out we had on saturday up at Holker Hall nr Cartmel in the lakes. The sun shone making it lovely for all who visited . The place was buzzing but you  never felt crowded or harrassed like some similar events we have attended. I had fun looking at the Alpacas they are just so cute and looked really funny with their recently trimmed coats. The flowers and plants on display were really stunning and the Spanish horse display was a treat to sit and watch while sitting on bales of hay eating hot Cornish pasties! A lovely display
