Back to the garden... • Gabberdashery

I’m home now and have returned to a jungle!! The plants have been loving all this rain and been going, well a bit mental, which is exactly the way I like it. They seem happy and that makes me happy (when did I get this old?!)

And the Heath looked beautiful too…

The swans have baby cygnets again!!! Can you see?! Awwwwwww

So I’m enjoying the spring and I know the plants are loving the weather but I’m ready for some hot summer days now especially so I can enjoy the garden and THIS CHAIR:

Oh yes, look what Stephen picked up for free while I was away!!

I can’t wait to sit out there in the sun with a book and a homemade, homegrown smoothie!!!

But I have discovered there is one place I enjoy being in when it’s raining… THE SUMMERHOUSE:

Yesterday we spent the day running electricity from the house to the summerhouse so now it has power and lights and heat and a sewing machine/ glue gun ready to go!!

It really is looking amazing- it’s becoming a magical hideaway and I love spending time in there, even in the rain (it’s like being in a tent- you can hear the rain above your head but you don’t get wet- yay!). There are still a few boxes of stock/junk/stuff that we need to keep but doesn’t really have a purpose etc but it’s slowly getting sorted and looking a lot less like a storage shed and much much more like a crafts room/ place to be creative/ somewhere I want to spend a lot of time in.
