“Good morning from the river Barle, an early morning dip down at Tarr Steps and the beautiful solitude of Landacre Bridge at this time of day…” By Gary Clarke. #Exmoor

Morning Bluesky I was up early to walk Max, before it got to hot. Even at 7am, you could feel the strength of the sun. Have a great week everybody #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

Morning Bluesky It's the Summer Solstice. This year really is flying by! Have a great day everybody #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

You will play ball! #dogsofbluesky

In the garden this weekend #sixonsaturday #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

A month ago. I pinched out the tops of the cosmos to make them bushy. Rather than throw the tops away. I popped them into modules. Now they’ve rooted. It looks like I might have another 60 cosmos 😁 #gardening

Morning Bluesky I'm feeling much better today. Going back to bed and sleeping through it, did the trick. Though I didn't expect to sleep till early afternoon! Have a great weekend everybody #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

Morning bluesky Woken up to what feels like vertigo. Now Max has had his walk. I think I may head back to bed Have a great Friday everybody #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

Can you ever have too many balls? #dogsofbluesky

Apart from the main road. This is the only other way to get in/out of the village. You can see how easy jams happen. Especially when people can’t reverse properly

Morning Bluesky I was up early thanks to the noisy seagulls. So I went shopping very early and avoided the chaos on the roads. I had to come home the long way. But you do get to see the sea Have a great day everybody #nature #devon

I thought I could have a sneaky biscuit. As Max was sleeping soundly in his basket. I opened the cupboard door as quietly as I could and suddenly felt a pair of eyes on me #dogsofbluesky

I’ve plenty of notepads yet I write all my shopping lists on cut up envelopes! Is this a sign I’m a child of the 70’s. When the wartime rationing mentality and make do and mend still ruled?

Morning Bluesky Banks of misty rain are rolling across the garden. Making it quite a murky morning. Good excuses to have a lazy morning with a book Have a great day everybody #flower #gardening #bloomsctolling

Morning Bluesky I spent most of yesterday gardening and I’m certainly feeling it this morning! Have a great Tuesday everybody #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

#macromonday #insect #flower #nature

Morning Bluesky A nice sunny morning. With the main road through the village closed. All you can hear are the birds and the wind through the trees It’s going to be an odd few months with it being so quiet Have a great week everybody #flower #gardening #bloomscolling

Morning Bluesky Have a great Sunday everybody #flower #insect #nature #bloomscrolling

I've used home made compost in all my tomato and cucumber bags this year. As it wasn't sterilised. I've not only got weed seeds. But also Verbena bonariensis and Aquilegia seedlings appearing. Which is a bonus #gardening

In the garden today #sixonsaturday #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

Morning Bluesky The suns out and a neighbour's spluttering lawn mower. Is already on the go. Have a great weekend everybody #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

The everlasting sweet peas are all starting to bloom #flower #bloomscrolling

Morning Bluesky Cold, windy and overcast. Certainly doesn't feel like June! If you can't tell. I'm in a grumpy mood. After being woken in the middle of the night by freezing cold, painful feet. Which needed a hot water bottle to warm. Have a good Friday. #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

It's 50 years since this classic got to number 1 in the UK charts and the Wurzels are still touring today

Morning Bluesky Just back from doing the weekly shopping. Major roadworks start on Monday. So my usual 4 mile round trip will become 24! I could use the back lanes. But they're mostly a single cars width and I can see them being jammed. Have a great day everyone #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

They might look small now. But they'll quickly increase in size. I hoping to start pick them in 5-6 weeks time. #gardening

Morning Bluesky I managed to dodge the showers during Max's walk. It's forecast to rain most of the day. Now do I iron yesterday's laundry, potter a bit in the greenhouse or just have a lazy day? Whatever your plans are. Have a great Wednesday #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

Morning Bluesky A sunny morning and a good breeze. So I've taken a chance in doing the washing, despite the forecast showers. Yesterday was forecast to be showery, but none appeared. I'm keeping fingers crossed for a repeat today. Have a great Tuesday everyody #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

He’s quite a softy really #dogsofbluesky

#macromonday #flower #gardening

Morning Bluesky Max woke me just after 3am. I assumed he needed to spend a penny. Opening the door he shot off into the dark. There was a startled cry from a fox and a mad 20 minutes of trying to get a now muddy Max back indoors. Have a great week everybody. #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling.

Morning Bluesky A calm morning after yesterday's storm. I guess the damage could have been worse. I think I might lose three of the taller Lupins. That have been snapped off near the ground. Fingers crossed they reshoot. Have a great day everybody #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

"Thinking about the next heatwave? Prepare for more rain first" Not a headline I wanted to see.

Just back from walking Max. It’s pretty wild out in that wind. Several of the taller lupin plants have collapsed and one of the rose bushes has taken a proper beating. Strong winds this time of year always cause chaos in the garden

In the garden this week #sixonsaturday #flower #bloomscrolling

Pride in my garden 2026. What's been in my garden so far this year. #pride #pridemonth #sixonsaturday #flower #bloomscrolling

Morning Bluesky A dull and wet start to the day. To make it worse. Storm force winds are due to arrive at lunchtime. Another attempt by nature, to flatten the foxglove and lupin flower spikes. Have a great weekend everybody. #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

This photo of myself was taken exactly 51yrs ago. In my great Aunt's garden. She wrote dates and notes on the back of all the photo's she took. #throwbackfriday

Morning Bluesky Have I blinked and missed a couple of days? As I can't believe it's Friday! Have a great day everybody #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

Fun time! #dogsofbluesky

Morning Bluesky Looks like another day of dodging heavy showers. Have a great day everyone #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

Morning Bluesky Up early, thanks to the seagulls banging around on the roof and screeching their heads off. The noise woke Max and he had to get in on the noise making at act too. I have a feeling, it's going to be one of those days. Have a great Wednesday everybody #flower #gardening

Morning Bluesky Looks like it'll be a day of heavy showers. We got caught in the start of one, coming back from Max's walk. Probably a good day to pot up some seedlings and cuttings in the greenhouse. Have a great Tuesday everybody #flower #gardening #bloomscrolling

Any time is playtime #dogsofbluesky

I swear I'm turning into my father! Thankfully not his sartorial elegance. That would rival Compo in Last of the Summer Wine. Far worse. I've started thinking "Oh that'll come in handy. I better keep that" to any odd screw, short length of wire/string or empty container.

There’s nothing quite like the smell of a wet dog #dogsofbluesky
