Now retired and moved to Devon, working at Tetcott Manor House restoring the walled garden. Like cooking/baking, also photography/calligraphy/watercolour.

A sunny and warm day here at the Manor House. I tackled a bit of Box hedge at the front of the manor, then generally pottering, weeding etc. Found this beautiful Lily in the front garden. #manorhouse #gardening #lily

A cloudy but warm day here at the Manor House. Spent the day at the front weeding and edging the gravel paths before and after images! I do like a nice neatly trimmed lawn/path. #manorhouse #gravelpaths #lawnedges

A cloudy day here at the Manor House garden. First job was to finish off a bit of mowing in the patio garden and a couple of paths. Took up some more edging boards which were starting to rot, edged the paths, looks so much better! #manorhouse #lawns #paths

A very warm but windy day here at The Devon Patch. After a busy weekend in the garden we decided to collect ‘Honesty’ seeds which proved quite challenging in the summer breeze! #thedevonpatch #collectingseeds #honestyseeds

Taking up the boards either side of the grass paths, so much easier to mow now. #manorhouse #garden #grapevines #grasspaths

Rain off and on here at the Manor House garden. Trimmed back our grape vine, then trimmed back the vine coming over the wall and starting to cover the greenhouse roof, more light coming in now!

A very warm day here at the Manor House garden. Hoed through the roses then lifted the onions. I noticed when watering the lettuce the bees turned up to get a drink from the water droplets, so I put out a dish for them! #manorhouse #garden #onions #waterdish

A cloudy but warm day here at the Manor House garden. First job was to mow the lawns in the walled and wildflower gardens. Lifted the last of the early potatoes, variety is ‘Charlotte’. The tomatoes are ripening well and coming thick and fast! #manorhouse #potatoe #lawns #tomato

A windy but dry day here at the Manor House. All of the front lawns mowed and looking a lot neater 👍😊 #manorhouse #lawns #church

In the cold frames I took out the tired and bolted lettuce etc, ready for new plants to go in. Lifted some more potatoes, only the ‘Charlotte’s’ left! #manorhouse #garden #potatoes

A wet, misty, drizzly day here at the Manor House garden, or as it is known in Devon ‘mizzle’. The squashes and courgettes are doing well.

Did not think I could get the lawns started here at the Manor House garden as it was raining first thing, but it eventually brightened up! Had an audience at one point, young cattle wondering why I was cutting the grass instead of eating it 🤣 #manorhouse #lawns

The weather is glorious here at the Manor House. After a short break (for a honeymoon 😀) went down to do some watering and dead heading, nice apples ripening, and as you can see from the flower images, the garden is ‘blooming’ marvellous 🤣. #manorhouse #garden #flowers #apple

Got soaked going to the Manor House garden this morning. So decided to do some late sowings of red and white chard, plus some Sweet Williams and Wallflowers. Picked a few runners for tea, plus courgettes. Tomatoes are starting to ripen. #manorhouse #garden #seeds #tomatoes

You know when you get a feeling you are being watched while you are working! I turned around and saw these cattle looking over the garden gate 🤣🤣#manorhouse #garden #flowers #cattle
