Sampling a Giveaway and Springtime Garden

 It is a very abundant time in our garden this time of year

(so I am warning you that this is quite a lengthy

and picturesque post if you enjoy garden

tours!)

in so many different ways especially

with the roses in bloom.

Popping up everywhere you will find forget-me-nots, granny's bonnets, grasses of all sorts,

hydranges, irises, roses - rambling and climbing

beautiful shade tress of Chinese Elms, Japanese Maples, Silver Birches,

Buddleas and places to just sit 

and take in all the fragrances, listen to the birds

and watch the Angora goats grazing!

Spectacular colour as in these irises!

And just around the corner is another garden of old world roses

and climbers like this Cecile Brunner and the soft apricot

shades of Crepiscule.

Now on one of the branches of this climber 

which happens to be outside my studio

 you might remember I mentioned that a Willy Wagtail

was creating a nest

and since then everyday as I have been creating

only metres from my table

I have witnessed the most amazing little miracle

of the entrance into the world

of these three baby Wagtails

and the emergence of each one

from the nest,

the testing, spreading and stretching of their little wings,

gaining strength in their little legs

in readiness for flight!

Now it's not every day that we are blessed with

such an amazing miracle 

within just a few feet of where we create just outside -

 that's for sure!

And what's more I feel so blessed for

living in such a special place indeed!

 Even with all this distraction I have managed to create

a little something ( yes - just a tad lacey!) 

for all of my wonderful

followers as a little

"Thank you"

which I will be sharing in a Giveaway very soon!

So do stay tuned to enter yourself!

Wishing you all a most relaxing and joyful weekend!

Love, Suzy xxx
