finch





it's been a long while since i've updated my blog. real life has been continuing on meanwhile & these flowers have been growing my garden. this poor char finch flew into mum's lounge window & thoroughly knocked himself out into sweet oblivion, louis found him on the carpet in perfect condition, it was fascinating for us all to be able to hold the bird & study his texture & form. in the end we buried him under our raspberry bushes, i have a feeling louis won't forget him for quite some time.

lily of the valley




we have lily of the valley growing in the garden, who doesn't love the name of this plant? it has such old fashioned connotations & i'm looking forward to it taking over a larger part of the garden. i bought a bunch of iris bulbs from a second hand shop a while back & i was pleasantly surprised to find them to be such a bright vivid purple.
