The White House Garden and Dinder Open Gardens

Its beautiful here today in Dulcote – hot and sunny with lots of bird song.  The garden continues to amaze me blue flowers frontage– when one lot of blossom fades, another is ready to take its place.  The frontage of the house is covered in lovely blue flowers now and looks gorgeous, and my to do list continues to grow with “must learn the names of all of our plants and shrubbery” now added to the never ending list.  But talking of gardens, its the Dinder Open Gardens this weekend with nine gardens open for public viewing as well as a large wildflower meadow.  All welcome on Sunday afternoon.  I did suggest to Rod we joined in but he has told me I’m not nearly professional enough to compete yet…….

Unusual Visitor to The White House

We had quite a busy day on Saturday here at The White House.  Final stages of renovation meant four workmen on the roof of our main home and this was too much of an attraction for the cockeral who lives on the farm next door.  Perhaps if his wives are also attracted into our garden we can offer our own eggs to our bed and breakfast guests!  This just didn’t happen in London…….cockeral
