A Hot Week

I found this sweet small brown  and cream transfer ware tureen circa 1900 for $3 in my fave church shop ...I love the shell shaped handles.I have a small collection of this colour and I love it

It has been a hot week and I have spent the week pulling out or pruning and the garden is looking very parched

Hot dawn

A full moon on a very hot night

The girls cleaning up the nectarine windfall...we had a huge crop....happy not to eat another one for a year

Clematis

A few summer roses still

Sedum slowly turning pink

This little Williewagtail is too cute 

Baby birds splashing on a very hot day

Was it something I said Sascha?

Ancestors

I found this antique mercury glass frame at a fair a while ago with a  photo  of a fierce looking Edwardian lady in it , and I finally got around to making a copy of my great grandparents wedding photo, to replace  it. Much nicer!

Thank heavens Summer is drawing to a close although more heatwaves is probably still on the cards

The last of the summer roses opening and it's time to feed them for autumn

At Last

2 beautiful finds from a country church shop .....a white on white pillowcase and a linen table cloth $3 each

At last a day of rain and what a big difference it has made to our lawns 

Nellie is startled about being wet

Raindrops and Cleome

A huge glut of nectarines...trying to use up as many as possible
