Post Comment Love 26 - 28 June

Hello there, welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.

Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed, and if you see older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

This week I’ve finally finished sorting through and editing my photos from last year’s Festival of Quilts show, it’s been a great thing to do while I’ve been inside sheltering from the high temperatures. Through this heatwave I’ve realised that my craft room, which gets the morning sun, can be quite quickly cooled in the afternoons to a bearable temperature with the help of the skylight, a semi open window and the open skylight on the back of the house - it creates quite a nice blow through even when it doesn’t look as if there’s too much movement outside. And of course being in my craft room is absolutely no hardship, though the irony on just finishing editing these photos, as I look forward to visiting the show again at the end of next month is not lost on me.

My photo this week is from that editing session - and I haven’t left myself the usual clues I would as I regularly leave it longer than my memory serves me to edit photos, so please enjoy a random sewn ‘front door, complete with snippets of white net curtains and I can’t decide if that’s a floral pattern or disrepair working it’s way across the door diagonally. Either way it’s quite random and just perfect to sit with and let your imagination do its thing - something I think we should all probably do more of.

Have a great week

It’s been a garden visit heavy week, and I’m not complaining - but there’s been a lot of steps, and a whole heap more photos. I started the week with a press invite to relatively local Barnsdale Gardens and ended the week with another press invite to Gardeners’ World Live. More on both of those visits to come, but I when I got home I was so pleased to see my first dahlia flower - let’s hope there’s many more to come.

Have a good week.

I’m just back from ten or so days in France, and it was wonderful. We travelled to Angers and Tours in the Loire by train and it was really easy, and a lot less hanging around than in an airport. We’d built in an overnight stop in Paris on each journey, as well, why not. We also crammed a lot in, which means a whole new pile of photos to edit and stories to share - and we saw quite a few gardens along the way.

But that’s all for another day, instead I’ll share a poster for a music festival which caught my eye as we walked along the banks of the Loire. I’m not a festival goer, but I loved this poster!

Have a good week.
