Weekend Wanderings

I spent very little of the weekend at home despite not being away in the true sense. On Saturday I was lucky enough to be taken to  Larch Cottage Nurseries at Melkinthorpe. We actually live quite nearby but I had never been before. This fantastic place is a cross between a gallery, a plant lover's dream, a restaurant and a statue emporium. Here are a very few of the highlights......



                                     How would you like this fellow to guard the garden?




                                    The rain failed to dampen the spirits of this poppy.




                                                           A new bird bath perhaps?




                                                                A new perspective....




A welcome stop at the stunning tea room before going on to visit some friends of the equine variety.......






                                          A bit wind blown up on the hill with the boss......




                                                   I'll scream and scream till I'm sick!.....




                        A moment of calm in a busy day.... More about today tomorrow in part two.
