Inspiration

It was a lovely weekend of friends down in Dorset, visits to Bridport Market, Forde Abbey, and lots of neighbours around for supper – where we enjoyed bowls of salad and the first new potatoes from my veg patch.

And if, like me, you are in love with irises, you will perhaps be happy to hear that I have just ordered a mass of irises from the amazing and beautiful Wootens of Wenhaston website. Watch this space.
