Past Times

Meanwhile on Instagram...

St Mary Redcliffe aglow in the evening sunshine. Beautiful at any time and a special discovery at the end of my evening walk in #Bristol recently 😊 #churchesofinstagram #stmaryredcliffe #igersbristol #mymagicmoment #eveningstroll #evening_time #glow #travelblogger #vegplotting #vegplottingblog

A beautiful morning spent at Gasper Cottage in the delightful company of @openedear and @upwiththelark2. This was a first time opening for the #NGS by @bella_hoare whose garden is a gem tucked away in the south of #Wiltshire. Lots of lush planting and a fantastic orchard cum meadow, all with great views over the surrounding countryside. So much to take in and photograph, but my overall favourite is this view of the thatched privy which now neatly hides away anything Bella didn’t want us to see 😉 #gardenvisit #botanicalpickmeup #myhappymoments #thatch #thatchedcottage #thatchedroof #gardenwithanartistseye #gardendesign #cottagestyle #cottagegarden #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #igerswiltshire #timeforwiltshire #visitwiltshire #genuinebritain @nationalgardenscheme #artistgarden #gardensofinstagram #gardensmakemehappy

I love the revamped space at the Garden Museum, such lush planting courtesy of Dan Pearson's design which gives a nod to Captain Bligh of Bounty and breadfruit fame (it's his tomb you can see) and the plant hunting skills of Tradescant buried nearby. This is the view from the new education room, relocated from its poky perch upstairs to a light and airy space on the ground floor with plenty of room for three huge tables set out for our workshop. Inside there are lush potted plants to give plenty of inspiration for us and other students to come. It's fabulous 😊🌸🌱 #botanicalpickmeup #inspiration #gardendesign #danpearson #gardenmuseum @gardenmuseum #breadfruit #tomb #gardenvisitor #gardenvisit #myhappymoments #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #visitlondon #igerslondon

Love, love, LOVE my new #terrarium thanks to @jarandfern and their brilliant workshop at @gardenmuseum today. Such a relaxing and satisfying thing to do and thanks to @gdnmediaguild for making it happen. I'm regretting the day I got rid of all of dad's old demijohns! Here's one set of #houseplants the kittens won't be able to swipe off the windowsill 😊 #instaplant #plantsofinstagram #terrariumlove #terrariumworkshop #botanicalpickmeup #myhappymoments #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantlove #plantsmakepeoplehappy #gigfy #gardeningisgoodforthesoul #gardenideas

I went back to skool a couple of weekends ago for Miss Squire's lesson at the Victorian School's open afternoon at Sevington. A real gem of a place, saved by local educationalists who realised the worth of a teacher who taught there for decades and a classroom left as it was in 1913. Here I'm writing in my best copperplate and hiding the fact I've got ink all over my fingers again, just like I did in my actual schooldays. Look out for August's open afternoon and the Heritage Open weekend in September, there'll be a newly refurbished garden to admire and plenty of tea and cake to help you get over your lessons 😊 #sevington #sevingtonvictorianschool #timeforwiltshire #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #igerswiltshire #backtoschool #victoriana #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #Wiltshire #villagelife #historyteacher #historyisfun #heritageopendays

I loved this drying rack for garlic I spotted in one of the polytunnels @rivercottagehq last week. It's an idea which easily translates into a doable project for home or the allotment. A pallet or chicken wire with some support would work and be cheap and satisfying to do. Much better than my current patio solution as this has all round airflow. #diyideas #garlic #dryingrack #dryingalliums #gyo #gyoideas #gigfy #allotment #vegetablegarden #vegetablegardening #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #vegetablesofinstagram #myinspiration

It was a dream come true to visit @rivercottagehq this week. Here I'm following Head Gardener Helen on our tour of the kitchen garden with my @gdnmediaguild friends. We had plenty of opportunity to sample the produce too, plus a cookery demonstration from Richard with his top tip to sharpen your knives before chopping onions. Having cried loads at the weekend, then sharpened my knife this morning, I can confirm it works! #gardentravel #gardenvisit #gardensofinstagram #gardensmakemehappy #gigfy #botanicalpickmeup #foodheaven #foodstagram #myinspiration #myhappymoments #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #toptip #igersdevon #visitdevon

Mr Brunel looks as shocked as I was to find himself with an out-of-his-era hot dog on Thursday evening. Who said time travel isn't feasible? 😉 #summerspectacular #summerinthecity #ssgreatbritain #hotdog #timewarp #visitbristol #igersbristol @ssgreatbritain @spiritprteam #travelblogger #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #volunteer #foodstagram #looksdelicious #bristolharbour

Amazing acrobatics at #ssgreatbritain's preview of their #summerspectacular last night with @invisible.circus providing witty scallywags for their hugely entertaining performance. Thanks to everyone involved, it was a perfect way to spend a summer's evening in #Bristol, and to @spiritprteam for the invitation. You can see the antics for yourself from July 20th 😊 #gifted #summerinbristol #visitbristol #summerinthecity #bristolharbour #invisiblecircus #igersbristol #southwestisbest #visualbritain #visitengland #travelblogger #vegplotting #vegplottingblog
