HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW!!!!




Well not a garden a tiny back yard!!not like an American backyard  a UK back yard made of concrete and surrounded with high brick walls  our house was built in 1900. A typical terraced house of the time with back yard. Hence everything is planted in containers!!!  Id love a big garden so i could grow loads of stuff and have chickens  but i have to be content with what i have plus my dogs!!







Isn't nature wonderful...my cucumber plant coiled around  a big fat knitting needle!!!!!



This blue bottle must have loved the camera!!!!couldn't get rid of it!





 I have a huge container of mint and always grow lemon balm....


My tomato's are sprouting all over the place...and celery grew from an stump left after id used it in cooking ..i was amazed at how quick it re sprouted!!!!





My tomato's   lemon balm and rambling rose all living together !!
Ive had loads of beans and kale ...not bad for a tiny uk backyard x

STREET DANCE




One of my fondest memories   my little girl dancing for her friend john





A summers day and loads of smiles....



It wasn't planned...i didn't ask her to do it....


She smiled that beautiful smile of hers!

 and just danced!!!!


oblivious of anything!!!


her dress twirling!!!!

i wondered what she was thinking??


as she danced ..in her own little world


 i marvelled at how beautiful she was , and felt so blessed she was mine!!!



 I still feel the same pride and love i felt all those years ago...my beautiful girl x
