What a pile of poo

At least that was what I thought when I came upon this at Kew the other day

I’ve never seen a pile like it before! 

Groovy gramineae or peerless poaceae.

The colours are coming to Kew

It has started but still has a long way to go. We need some frosts at night to really get those glorious colours at their best. In the meantime …………….

 

My lily haiku

  

In honour of National Poetry Day…..

I love you lily

Oh why did I leave you to

Suffer the slug fest?

(With apologies)

What glorious & gratifyingly green grass.

So yesterday evening I had a rather unexpected trip out & found myself sitting in front of a most ridiculously luscious green striped sward which despite heavy use from looked nigh on perfect. Why could my little little lawn not look as good.  No wonder, I saw maintenance being carried out on it later that same evening – what dedication. Not a lazy trollop lawn then!

We had a lovely walk along the Thames in the twilight to get there. To the right of where I was sitting was a little cottage, a Grade 2 listed building. The lighting showed everything to perfection once the darkness had covered the sky. Very soon we were treated to some very impressive German choral singing, to be honest a little loud for me, but it continued all evening other than a short rest break.

It was a very satisfying evening all told, completed with another walk along the Thames looking at the glittering lights of urban night-life, but was this another garden visit or some other mysterious evening out?
