August in our World

A Journey through August

Flower and Produce Show

The annual Flower and Produce show has come around again.

It was mentioned earlier in the year at our allotment that there might not be so much produce on the show benches this year, due to the poor weather and we were right.

 If this has been your first year growing, then not all years are this bad.

This section is various craft items from a hard material.

The postcard at the bottom of the picture is a hard material. Maybe clay?

Jubilee Year.

This is good fun isn't it? Can you spot the caterpillar?

Its on the cabbage, middle of the photo at the bottom.

 We wondered why these ice creams were not melting.

Its Victoria Sponge actually baked in the cones, then butter cream whipped on the top.

And finally......

Red, White and Blue

We went to another town close by to us. 

Red, White and Blue seemed to be the theme of the day.

The flowers still look pretty good.

This memorial garden is to Sir Frank Whittle

Hope you enjoyed those, we did.

Flowers by the sea

Cromer, by the Church.

The front garden of the Bed and Breakfast where we stayed.

Flowers in Sheringham.

I'm not really sure if this counts as flowers, these hanging baskets where everywhere.

Cley-next-the-sea

This is a front garden in Cley, I said "wow" when we walked by.



July

I round up of our adventures and days out during July

RSPCA Open Garden

This garden opens twice a year in aid of the RSPCA. Due to the weather we have missed it for the last couple of openings at least.

This weekend wasn't looking good either.

However, plants do like the rain, so all was well.

Seed Roof

Isn't this walkway lovely?

I did ask him to pose for me but he wasn't interested.

 The boot is good fun, and makes a great planter.

Weekend

This street looked a lot more inviting in real life.

Planting around the Church with the Old Grammar School in the background

Red, White and Blue Planting scheme.

The River was very high after all the rain

We sat here and read the paper.

I took this photo mainly as a record of plants which grow well in the shade.

To finish, after all that walking around.
