My 2019 in photos: July to December

January 15, 2020

Well as promised here’s the second half of my 2019 in photos - you can catch up with the first half of the year in the post from last week.

JULY: OVERLOOKING THE ROOFTOPS IN LISBON

SEPTEMBER: MOWGLI, INDIAN STREET FOOD IN LIVERPOOL

OCTOBER: MOTOR CARS, PRINTS WITH ALL THE GLAMOUR

Looking back, despite it being a little quieter here than usual there was still plenty to choose from, and remembering the high points is always worthwhile.

My 2019 in photos: January to June

January 8, 2020

Following on from my top posts from 2019, today I’m sharing the first half of my 2019 in photos. As ever choice is often my enemy, so there may well be more than a couple of photos, and posts for each month.

JANUARY: SCULPTURES THAT SUM UP THE MONTH FOR ME

FEBRUARY: GALVANISED POTS AND BITS AND BOBS

FEBRUARY: GEOMETRIC AND ENCAUSTIC TILES AT GRAND DESIGNS LIVE

MARCH: PLANT GIRL LIFE - THE PRINT THAT CALLED MY NAME

MAY: HESTON, THE EVERDURE RANGE AND SOME VERY GOOD FOOD

MAY: ASSEMBLING OUR VON HAUS COPPER RIM FIRE PIT

MAY: DARK AND EXOTIC, PINEAPPLES AND MONKEYS

So there’s a quick sprint through my memories of 2019, some of which had you asked me I wouldn’t have placed in the year that’s just gone. Our memory is a funny old thing, isn’t it?

I’m working my way through the second half of the year now, and will share that next week.

My 2018 in photos: July to December

January 12, 2019

Today I’m sharing the second half of my year in photos, featuring posts I enjoyed and which have sparked memories as I’ve looked back over the past year. I’ve also realised there’s many more posts that I haven’t shared, so that’s good news, as there’s plenty more to come - and plenty more lovely gardens to keep us entertained during the winter.

JULY: DELIGHTFUL DAHLIAS AT RHS HYDE HALL

AUGUST: INTERIORS INSPIRATION YORKSHIRE STYLE

SEPTEMBER: THE ROSE GARDEN AT PARCEVALL HALL

OCTOBER: CONTAINERS WITH A DIFFERENCE AT RHS HARLOW CARR

OCTOBER: A GREAT SUMMER TO ENJOY OUR REDECORATED CONSERVATORY

NOVEMBER: VISITING THE FOUR RHS GARDENS THIS YEAR

DECEMBER: COUNTRY HOUSE DECOR AND A GOOD BOOK

I think these photos, along with those in the first post are a good reflection of the best bits of my year. 2018 was in many ways a tricky year, but it wasn’t without its high points as I think my year in photos shows.
