Our Garden

We have been doing a lot of work on our garden recently. We completely re designed the area, got rid of the old overgrown hedge and made a new decking area. It is a still work in process and I don’t think you should half fast things.

So, it will probably take another few years for all my plants to grow to the size I want them to and no, not everything will get finish this summer. But this is what it looks like now.

I used Instagram to take these pictures and as you can see the right had corner is still looking very poor and bold.

So I planted some lovely perennials there that I got from Greenfingers.

These were on the offer.

I planted them last November and they are just coming out now. I will keep you posted on the progress.

Union Jack Duvet by Jack Wills

Jack Wills is so fabulously British. I spotted this Union Jack duvet ages ago but my bedroom design was all in cream and natural wood colors. It just didn’t go with anything. This of course was changed as soon as we moved in to our new pad. I went for grey walls & bedding with touches of dark plum velvet curtains and cushions. Inspiration : old french boudoir/ a few retro touches. But more about my bedroom some other time. So a new duvet was purchased.

here it is:
