July 1st 2013 Early morning after a lovely hot weekend

1 07 2013

Early this morning we had a professional photographer arrive to take some shots for a magazine article next year. That meant a couple of hours of weeding, grass cutting and general tidying on Sunday evening. It was good to see how little work there is at the moment in this area of the garden especially as the vegetable garden is growing weeds at a rate of knots. I wondered how the garden would look so early but it was bright and the sun came out so I guess it was fine. Before I rushed off to an early meeting, I took these shots from my bedroom window.
