We appear to have rather an abundance of this pretty flower, and while in this picture it is a little past its best, I still like this close up photograph showing the individual flower heads.
Sam reckons its a sign that we might have damp soil, and based on the old name of the property, Waterlow Farm, I think she is right!
The land survey began today, and Anglia Land Surveys were back! It was a glorious day, it was still, warm and very sunny and I was very envious as I was stuck at work.
This survey will form the back-bone for our garden design.
We have decided that in order to get the very most out of our outside space we need some help! Therefore we have found ourselves a garden designer, Sam, and are both really excited to have her working with us and can’t wait to start the design process! We currently have three parcels of space – the current garden and the two separate paddocks – and know what we want but not where it should all go … just can’t get our heads around it! Ultimately we want to create a kids’ play area, a vegetable plot/kitchen garden, a space for chickens (and maybe pigs!), and a formal garden with beds. We also want to encourage as much wildlife into the garden as possible and have a few spaces to escape with a cup of tea or glass of wine!
