My beauty garden at the end of August. Grass battered and waiting desperately for a spot of rain, which is due today, according to my phone. It will be good for me to look back at this with the seasons changing, to plan for next year. I have loved the summer, the feeling of guaranteed weather when making plans. Not even taking an extra winter bag to the barbecue, just in case and sitting out in the garden till 10.30 has been a dream. It’s a year we’ll all remember, hosepipe bans, straw lawns and Dolly Partons passing ❤️. Next year the garden will be restructured for more drought resistant planting system, as I have managed to create a very high maintenance garden, always deadheading and watering.
Thank you August, thank you summer.
