St Mary\u2019s, Denver.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After my afternoon shift today, I parked up beside St. Mary\u2019s, Denver. And after thatI drive around Denver a bit, to explore. Doing that lead me to discover an old guy selling books (and other stuff) from his garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d stopped to photograph a few particularly lovely gardens, ripe with poppies and hollyhocks. Then, as I drove off, slowly, I saw an open garage, with signs saying \u2018all books 50p\u2019. Worth investimigating, methought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I did. The proprietor, Barry, also showed me round his garden. Which is absolutely gorgeous. The hollyhocks are huuuge\u2026Probably about 10 feet tall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well Creek, Upwell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A wee bit later on, having been into Downham Market, and bought yet another Napoleon biography, I stopped to enjoy the glorious weather, beside Well Creek, back in Upwell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reading the intro, and first chapter, of my new Boney biog\u2019, I drove home. And when I got back, Teresa and I went for a wander down the garden. That\u2019s when I took the following pics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roses by the pond.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For one thing I wanted to check that the pond isn\u2019t draining. And it isn\u2019t. Fab! I sat beside it for a brief spell. It\u2019s lovely to do just that, and it\u2019s far from finished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having reassured myself that the pond isn\u2019t leaking, we toddled up and doon our wee patch. And I took all the snaps that follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The garden is looking pretty ace. And it lifted my rather gloomy spirits to spend some time in it. It\u2019s especially lovely in the bright sun of a summer evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I\u2019m massively gratified that my efforts to cultivate poppies and white umbellifers appear to have finally succeeded. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
