Hello there ....
Sadness here this week ...
our lovely old friend Fly passed away on Sunday.
We miss her very much .... but she was very old and very frail... and a little confused ... and simply 'faded away'.
Some of you may remember she joined us about 4 years ago ... she came to Anglesey for her retirement.
Her life .... not an easy one ... was spent working on farms ... so she deserved a little time to pootle about in the garden ... and lay in front of the fire.
Hubby P found a nice spot in the garden for her ... and one of Will's trees (a self sown Apple) ... will shade the spot and be forever Fly's bit of the garden.
It looks a bit bare at the moment ... I will plant a few more cuttings and soon the garden will spread about and 'tuck her in'.
These pretty Bluebells are close by and no doubt will spread.
The zingy Wild Garlic will add a fresh green carpet under the tree.
She will be sadly missed ...
Life goes on for us here ....
and we celebrate our hearth and home.
As you may know I like to collect interesting old birdcages ... not that I want to keep real birds in them ....
But I have a few ... dolled up with bits and pieces..
This one has Polly parrot and crystal droplets in it .... they catch the light and look pretty...
But just look at this one Hubby P found .... My Word!
This is just fabulous!
Quite old (vintage) and made from wood and wire .... just simply a lovely thing.
It was very mucky ... so I gave it a shower and a good sponge down with some soapy water ... and stood it in the garden to dry.
It will look just great hanging in the conservatory.
And I just had to share this with you .... so exciting....
The first spears of Asparagus .... Asparagus you can grow in a pot ...who knew?
I thought you had to have a huge bed set aside for it ... I discovered online (of course)... when I was looking for Rhubarb crowns.
I will take a few years of course until I can really harvest it ... but how fabulous ....
Anyway enough from me ... take care xx
