The clematis next to our covered bench opened today. I planted it to go over the roof of the bench. I don’t know why I didn’t realise that it would head towards the sun. Instead of covering the bench…
… it is cuddling up to the fig. Funny thing is I think the clematis has the right idea.
The children are still talking about our trip yesterday to the Lavender farm. AJ suggested that we start a new family tradition. This involved going to the lavender farm again as a family. Sounds good. A bit like our annual bluebell walk. No, she was actually looking for it to happen a bit more often, like every weekend. I think it has hit a chord with them all.
We will go back, as I want to measure the dome part of the willow tunnel, as I think I’ve found the perfect place to do that in our garden.
There’s a great willow dome at the junior school nearby. Several children can fit in it at a time and it looks really good when the leaves are out.
I’d really like to have a go at making one, but I will have to wait until Autumn.
Clematis are wonderful aren’t they and your picture is very beautiful. The willow dome sounds like fun the children would love it.
I’m really looking forward to giving it a go and growing one!
