My Year in Photos – June 4th – “That’s one robust plant”

Posted on June 5, 2010July 11, 2010 by flickr


My Year in Photos – June 4th – "That’s one robust plant", originally uploaded by henweb.

Today was such a beautiful day, even when I got home at 7pm we were able to eat dinner in our garden – a rare treat, though hopefully something we can do more of over the summer. I took today’s photo during said meal, and it’s of one of the few plants in our garden that we’ve managed to not kill over the past 5 years – namely a Clematis. Every winter it dies back to a twig, but every spring it comes right back to what you can see – everything else that turns in to a twig pretty-much stays that way…!

Not only was it an amazing concert, there was a big surprise at the end when he bought out both @doddleoddle AND the legendary @realmattlucas - what a treat!

    As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I want As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I wanted to give a shout-out to all the farmers in the local area, especially Brimpton’s own @mbowden1954. One of my favourite aspects of living where we do now is being surrounded by countryside and farm land - and being able to see an actively-farmed field at the end of our garden. Every time something’s being done to the field I’m out with my camera, usually trying to figure out the names of all the machinery - and it’s so nice to see a product being grown right from seed to harvest. I know it’s not easy for farmers at the moment, and I dearly hope ours are able to keep farming for many years to come - so if you have one near you, make sure to show them all the support you can!
