Back home after a week and a half away and it is not looking too bad. However, there is work to be done. The lawn never stops growing and needed a good cut.
It is not looking too bad although speedwell continues to be the main weed which is very hard to eliminate. Any suggestions?
We had arranged for the Hoby Art Group to spend some time in the garden. 
Looking at the yew hedge in the centre I can see some more work required!
Clematis of the week:
Clematis Viola making a fantastic display and this plant is only three years old!
Alliums can look fantastic. Here typical mixtures of Alliums with Rosa ‘Shot Silk’ on the wall. 
The issue in our garden is that they love to self seed so although the seed heads can look great we have to remove them before they seed.
It has rained on several days so not so much time in the garden!

What a fabulous garden to sit in and draw or paint. They must have found lots to inspire them. I am very fond of that same clematis too. Such a good, reliable plant.

Thanks Peter. I will be honest, some of the sweeping lines are there to minimise maintenance. Please look around the rest of the garden

Wow, I can’t paint but I’m sure jealous of those who are painting yours! Just stunning. In case you don’t see my reply to your query, my clematis is a tangle of Polish Spirit and Jackmanii Superba.
