And in the cool of the day, the Lord God walked in the Garden.... this is rather how I felt today - surveying the work of my hands (and Mark's of course). It is such a small garden, but it is so pretty at the moment - I'll have to put a picture up. The combination of the Compassion rose and the white jasmine is lovely - nearby there are the peachy Albertine roses, and waves of valerian. The knautia macrocephala (?) are flowering now - very tall, pretty, not especially attractive to insects though. Something that looks really beautiful this year is the thalictrum delvayii, it has got much bigger, very tall and has plenty of flowers. There are foxgloves lurking but all seem to be dwarfed by the bigger plants. The two big honeysuckles are out now - the white a bit delayed, it's more shaded than the other, and this morning I could really smell the scent. Just standing in the garden, looking at everything, and seeing Bernard sunning himself on the wall, I felt really happy.
