I run a Midlands (UK) based landscape design business. Creating beautiful gardens inspired by nature.
Isn't she the cutest?

Also, the most mischievous.

Little Tuppence decided she'd help daddy in the garden by climbing up his Acer 🐈‍⬛️😂

Hi everyone 👋

I haven't posted for a wee while. Very busy on the work front. Also it been too wet to garden.

Doing a bit of Autumnal tidying up today with the "help" of my two feline companions Tilly (R) and Tuppence (L) 😊

I thought I'd share another shot from my trip to David Austin Roses last week for #RoseWednesday.

It's a fabulous place, well worth the visit 😊🌹

What. A. Day. 🌹

Never have I enjoyed walking in the wet more.

Superb visit to David Austin Roses. It was VIP treatment all the way.

Tours of the selection and breeding beds, the precision sorting and packing process, plus a guided walk around the awesome rose garden.

Wowzers! 🥳

Tomorrow's #RoseWednesday from me might be a bit special 🌹

I'm off to visit David Austin Roses - a day organised by the Society of Garden and Landscape Designers.

We even get to visit the late David Austin snr's private rose garden.

Expect the odd post or two 😊

How fab is this photo from @citymousegarden.bsky.social?

One for #ClematisThursday 😊
Random late season surprise from Clematis ‘Constance’ which should bloom in spring but has taken a little while to get big enough to flower.

Mugging up for next year 😊
This is quite a brilliant little book. One from my late Dad's collection. I think it's out of print now, but full of useful tidbits.

A *very* belated #ClematisThursday

Oh boy!
First proper clip from Spinal Tap 2
A "proper" version of Stonehenge (with Elton John on piano).

It's actually a really fabulous tune

For all you Beatles fans out there, this is a real gem.
Part of the early White Album recordings. George gave this away to another artist.

Lovingly remastered with John, George, Paul, Ringo and Eric Clapton doing their thing.

A bit of #FridayFun for all you music lovers out there.

How about a bit of a #RollingStones / #Motorhead mashup?

Rather love the late Lemster's rendition of Sympathy for the Devil here 🤘🎸🥁🎤

A few more shots of my visit to Coughton Court yesterday.

The long perennial borders were something else.

It was definitely worth the visit 👍😊

A slightly belated but very special #ClematisThursday this week.

These beauties below, I photographed today at The National Trust's Coughton Court gardens.

Stunning, aren't they.

There have been some cracking #RoseWednesday posts this morning.
My attempt may look a bit feeble in comparison 😊

The hummingbird moths have returned!!! I love these amazing moths. They really look and sound like hummingbirds.

Well, well, well!
Greta van Fleet have just become my favourite "modern" band.

They're kind of the Oasis for Zep and their ilk, but hey, they can *play*

We had this wonderful Comma butterfly 🦋 visit us today.
Of course, she would only settle on the most unglamorous part of the garden for me to take her photo 🤷‍♂️
