Here in Scotland there are a different wild orchid that grows all over the place and even in what used to be the entrance to a driveway and is now my small wild meadow.
The original song was a lonely little petunia and this year I found these jet black ones. Cannot believe it is actually black but it is. The little edged one is pretty as well.
The garden is always a joy except up here when the midges are about- they are just unbearable so I have been inside doing a few reclaiming jobs. My mum's old coffee tale had a marble top that smashed- it had done well for about forty years or so. I had been laminating the kitchen floor and used a couple of left over bits to make a new top.
And then there was my wardrobe- I asked the lady in the shop how much and she suggested £15- wow a bargain and two coats of emulsion later it is white and quite pretty.
Have exhausted myself just talking about all the jobs- must learn to relax like out Pops.
