Coming Up Roses; and strawberries, peas, courgettes……!

This season in the flower garden is all about the roses, and my limited edition seasonal earrings are now available from my shop in a range of two sizes and six colours only – grab them while you can!

I’ve been spending long days at the allotment, which is churning out a steady stream of produce, not least a strawberry mountain, with blackcurrants, raspberries and blueberries in hot pursuit. I carried out some ‘essential maintenance’ of painting the inside of my shed in Annie Sloan’s ‘Florence’ chalk paint. The Med is truly alive and well in Yorkshire! I’ve also upcycled our now redundant recycling boxes into planters.

I was gifted a box of mini balls of cotton for my birthday, so I’m already thinking about Christmas decorations which is totally at odds with the glorious weather. I hope you’re getting out and about and enjoying it wherever you are.

Stay hydrated!
