August at Holme

[puddleshark]

There were goldfinches feeding on the tall sunflowers at Holme on Sunday. The gardens full of their cheerful squabbling.







I hate to think how much water the gardeners must have used this summer to keep everything alive and flowering. But it was so nice to walk upon grass that was green, upon earth that was soft.

How stunning!

The gardeners here have done an amazing job to keep the colour going - we're having the worst drought on record, and most people's gardens are looking very sorry for themselves.
