Time Out!!

 

This has to be one of the most peaceful places....

I come here when I want 'time out'.....

This is where I came this afternoon.

I love the drive here especially

in the winter when the

twisted oak trees

show off their branches

to those who pass by and take the time to look!

I have tried but really can't do them justice!

I hope that you are able to see what I mean?

I arrived and walked through the gardens,

sat on a seat......

and looked up through the trees

It seemed strange to see the lichen hanging off them

Further on I spied another tree.....

this one had been felled and aleady other life was taking over

It was good to have some time to wander and to reflect...........

Then...I came home and looked at my garden.....

The magnolia stellata in the corner is blooming and looks lovely

I really need to get somebody to help me move the white one.....

as it is suffering from being so close to the hedge.

But......

Wait a minute........

who do I spy in the corner behind the magnolias?

Is it....?


Yes....... it surely is.....

Anne Boleyn!!

So called because they knocked off her head in the garden centre.......

and it had to be stuck back on!!

Looking round the garden I spy another little girl

Probably praying for someone to come and sort the garden..... if not the gardener...... out!!?

So ...a brief resume of my day....

A glorious, sun-shiny day!

For those who have asked and been wondering....

Hubbie put his foot stool higher

so that, with the chair being higher, he could 

put his feet up in comfort.

Of course...his little tootsies didn't touch the ground when he was just sitting.....

so he added a bar to his foot rest......

What can I say????!

To finish...and to bring my blood pressure down a little.....

 I want to go back to the place I started....

The lovely oak tree that you see.....is the tree in the corner of in the picture of my favourite place
