The hat from Gozo
It came out from storage again today, we have had the most wonderful sunny day. it has been a real treat to sit out in the sun and enjoy the warmth when you've mentally accepted that autumn is coming and this will not be a possibilitiy again until next year. Lurvely...

Last year my son helped me to put some lathes and clematis wire over the garage roof for a clematis to scramble over. He thought I was mad and that it wouldn't work. I am so pleased with the result - true I did have to do a machete act when I returned from holiday, it keeps out the unwanted visitors too, but it has worked.

There are also successes elsewhere in the garden

and the sedums with kaffir lilies are a wonderful red splash.
