The smell of
these beautiful roses filled the garden
These upper
gardens were very formal and so well clipped and tidied. Superb roses
everywhere
Something to aim
for in our grass growing garden.
Who wouldn’t want a pergola rather than waist high kikuyu?

Irises to covet,
we bought one to take home. Plants were really reasonably priced and healthy
Their cliffside
garden is full of proteas, other indigenous plants and sunbirds
Auldearn
Spring green
vines and fruit trees fill the Elgin skyline
Magnificent views
from the hilltop house and garden of Auldearn
Leek flowers
about to burst out
The vines make
wonderful patterns across the land

A field of white daisies and some thrift
“Yes, I made the biscuits, they are buttery shortbread with rosemary” and they went very well with a cup of weak tea, so refreshing on a hot afternoon
Girls having a giggle
Just sit quietly under a tree and admire the view.
