Saved by the Mist

Category: A Gardener Who Gardens | Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:38 pm

It was meant to be a killer hot day but as we drove to the East of the island to our job at Archirondel we descended into the sea mist coming in from France. It ended up being a muggy day but never reached the temperatures threatened.

Our Wednesday garden is a treasure, owned by a wonderful lady who lost her husband last year and needed help to get it back under control and to maintain it, everything being hidden under a blanket of bindweed and ground alder. It has a typical english garden wrapping around the main house with a grassy slope rising behind with apple trees, birch and cherry, getting wilder the further up you go. Right at the top you get the most magnificent view of France and on a very clear day you can practically smell the croissants!
I've taken a picture of the lower half to show you and on a day there is no sea mist I shall take a hike to the top to show you France.

I shall also put a photo of some mystery flowers I found there to see if anyone has a clue what they are.

Au Revoir!

Love Rachel.
