Well this is how gardening should be. Paintings by Henry Tonks from the early 20th century - to be seen at an exhibition at the Geffrye Museum in London called A Garden Within Doors - which goes on until 25 July.
The cherry tree is absolutely beautiful, especially set against a clear blue sky and the bronze leafed pink blossomed version next door. About to send off the details to the Natural History Museum's Cherry Tree Survey - see their web-site.
Well, I am rather going for allotment chic, watch this space. I fear the flowers will outnumber the vegetables, but every space is going to be crammed full. Lots of herbs, lots of salads,tomatoes, beans, zinnia (!), cosmos, a cutting patch, and so on and so on. The chickens think they are locked outside paradise and each time I open the gate they try to rush me. Well they are going to have to rough it in the mini orchard - a couple of weeks with me and they have delusions. The very idea, an egg a day between four is no reason for an up-grade! I blame it on their night-time reading of TheMail and The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Observer having run out (my dinner guests bring old newspapers instead of wine!).
Not my outfit of choice for `doing' the garden, and I tend to be falling over chickens not parrots,but in my opinion you cannot beat a good pair of dungerees; this lady is missing out.
