Garden glimpses...


Scruffy shed at the back of the garden?


Nothing that a few pots of lavenderishious loveliness and a couple of 
gently green garden chairs (from ASDA) cannot fix...


My peaceful friend joined me in the move from the old house...

 ... and now enjoys the scents of summer from the perfumed plants, 
whilst contributing to 'the calm and the cosy' 
in this little corner of contemplation.

The view from the chairs or the bench above?
Well, a lawn crying out for a haircut and the garden path leading back to home, sweet home!


Dearest readers,
I am - again - humbled by your kind words, 
your greetings here on the blog and via email, your warmth and your kindness. 
Thank you all SO much!

With love,
Helena

  7. Dear Helena,
    this is going to be the most wonderful garden I think, as the surronding could hardly be more beautiful! It is very nice, to recognize some things from your old home...
    Most curious about your progress

  9. Dear Helena,

    It seems a lovely peaceful garden in a wonderful location! Those few 'Helena' touches are bringing it to life already, and I see some lovely periwinkle amongst the climbing ivy

    Must take a look in Asda:-)!

  10. Såå fint! Det finns en stillhet och renhet i dina bilder och i ditt sinne för detaljer. Ett stilla landskap utan synliga hårda vindar.

  14. Oh yes! Home Sweet Home!
    I like the green chairs too, although a bargain store in my city was was selling the same style chairs and a small round table(all folding) for £29.99p in bright pink, turquoise and bright blue. I rather fancy the bright pink ones, would have gone for a green like yours if they had it. Dreaming of new garden furniture!
    Enjoy your lovely garden and home! x

  33. Hej Helena!

    Har tänkt så mycket på dig. Hoppas allt är väl? Jag har i stort sett slutat blogga och hänger mera på Instagram istället. Men lite nyfiken är jag ju på vad du har för dig, så därför kikar jag in emellanåt. Blev så förvånad när du berättade att ni flyttat. Huset är precis sådär "picture perfect" och engelskt man bara drömmer om. Helmysigt! Vill se allting utan och innan, typ NU! ;) Om du vill, har tid, lust o allt det där, får du jättegärna höra av dig via instagram. Där heter jag blueberrygirlso.

    Massor av kramar!
    Sanna
