I just had to get away today so I was dropped off at Capel Manor Gardens in Enfield where I spent a couple of hours to myself. My first port of call was the Meercat enclosure. I am not sure about animals being kept out of their natural environment but I presume that they were born in captivity. I could have observed them all day - me watching them watching me!
I like this idea of shelves being rested on step ladders. A good idea if you have limited space.
I have a standard orange Crocosmia in my garden. I much prefer the impact of this golden yellow variety.
A random recipe in one of the gardens. I have so many courgettes (zucchini's) that I am sure to try this out.
One of my favourite plants -Echinacea.
More of the beautiful Echinacea - I wish I had a display like this one.
Globe artichokes soaring towards the sky. I feel uplifted and rejuvanted having had some time out. I bought some Blackfriars Bakery chocolate flapjacks from the canteen to take home and a Salvia, trailing Rosemary and a Dahlia from the plant sales section and picked up a few handfuls of scots pine cones for my craft table display. It has been a good way to spend a few hours.
