Writing my garden and my life.
About Me
- My Chutney Garden
- Gardening in the rain, watering at dusk with a glass of red wine and making up new recipes that I can never reproduce are just some of the things that I like to do. I live under a large saman tree in a nostalgic old house with my husband, Ross, my daughter, Hayley, five dogs and two cats.

Lovely!! From your garden I suppose..
What a beautiful blog.
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mum...but I bet she was very proud of you.
I will be visiting again!
wonderful blog! your pictures are astounding. sorry about your mother, though. my uncle died from cancer, and my great grandfather. :(
BEAUTIFUL!
I very inspiring and peaceful site and definitely not too cluttered. You must be a good designer in all your avenues of life?
You look tranquil too but with a hint of fireyness if necessary.
Your stories are warming and take us on a journey.
I'm trying to blog myself so tell me who you get that lovely title layout can't seem to find the tools on the blog page
ps I think you look more like your mum on her third and fourth photos. And I share the same sentiment as you and many. My parents are long gone many moons ago but the void is always there - it's like they left a space in the universe that is not to be filled!
Simply beautiful flowers...wish my photos were as beautiful as yours. So sorry to hear about your mom, enjoy your cruise.
Just found you blog and it is truly gorgeous. Your pictures are quite stunning. I'll keep popping back to see what's new. Sorry to hear about your Mum. I know exactly what you mean about feeling orphaned. My mum died in 2003 and I still miss her as much as I ever did. My girls don't understand it when I tell them that you are never quite the same once your Mum has gone. But I think it's true. Take care xxxx
Hi, Your photos are some of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. That woodpecker fascinates me as I live in Kansas and we have the red-headed woodpecker here pecking in our trees on our year. A totally different looking bird to say the least.
Keep up the great work with your photography, it makes me feel like I am there viewing right along with you
Hi there, nice pics:) U did a good job! by the way, care to exchange links with me if its ok with u? Let me know:) Take care always and have a great weekend!
