A weekend in June...



A lovely, long weekend in the garden saw me out, sketch book in hand, drawing, painting, writing, trying to record everything. The vegetable garden in particular looks so appealing at the moment.


The lavender is such a beautiful bright purple; the rain has made everything greener and the red of the old brick path is the perfect backdrop to photographs. It's incredible to see the differing forms of the plants all bursting out brightly together.

Plenty more of this to come...

Almost a year now since I last posted. So ashamed!! Things have been very busy with Holly's Houses and a new venture I have just set up to create yet more stamps - Bloomfield & Rolfe (watch this space!). Meanwhile here are some more beautiful pics of our lovely Victorian House & Garden to share...

The clock is actually made by another 'Rolfe' - or so it says on the face. Not a relation, as far as we know!


I'm back on the case now. Will post next week with wonderful pics of the cider we made last September from the glut of apples and pears we get every year....and then pics of us drinking it a couple of weeks ago!
