June 2026

Have you looked in The Curiosity Shop lately? (See tab above). It is a shop within a shop where I put mostly reduced price items and a few other things I have made, like photo cards taken in the cottage garden here for instance. I have just added some ‘old stock’ cards at reduced prices, so why not pop in and have a browse!

The baby birds here are now appearing, tiny pale bluetits, long-legged speckly robins and screechy young blackbirds ‘parked’ around the garden waiting to be fed. The roses are showing now too, always chiming with the giant angelica ‘trees’ that self-seed all over the place. A rather wild garden this year, but full of life, more than ever before, so I am just sitting back and enjoying it all. These are my husband’s Cedric Morris irises, which are spectacular this year!
