Fieldbriar
Posted on June 9, 2023
We have this white rose growing in one of our raised beds. Until now, I had believed it was an eglantine – a very ancient variety. However, I now understand that this is actually a fieldbriar because it’s white. Eglantines (also known as sweet briar) tend to be pink. Either way, it’s lovely.
Once upon a time, this was red

This well weathered wooden door is to be found at the back of the charity shop where Madame volunteers. To judge from the framework, it was once a bright red, rather than a dusky pink.

They’re back. Not so many as yet this year, but still providing a vibrant splash of colour.

This set of five stone steps is a feature of my son’s house and that’s one of his mini Schnausers about to climb them.

Although the local sheep market is a relatively small affair, it’s still possible to get a perspective of the sheep pens disappearing into the distance.
Imperial Purple
Posted on May 11, 2023
The topic for Cee’s Midweek Challenge this week is ‘Imperial Purple’. I really don’t suit a toga so I thought this could prove to be something of a problem.
However, I remembered that at the Fête des Fleurs In Magnac-Laval last month I had seen this rather striking purple flower.
Underneath The Ivy
Posted on May 9, 2023
When I ripped off the ivy that was clinging to one of our wooden fences, not only did it leave behind the scars from the clinging menace, but it also revealed a hidden snail, which was probably only looking for a quiet life.
