I have fallen in love with your blog. There. I said it.
Thankyou! You’re certainly the first. Do you have a blog?
I do; http://ahouseandagarden.wordpress.com/
Oh sorry, i’m rubbish at this – just made the connection, your blog is intimidatingly good. Love the poppies. There was a plant in your post, ‘meandering through the vegitation’, that you were unsure of (your pictures are amazing by the way), I think it’s a type of toadflax – Linaria purpurea something, but not sure what the name is of the pink cultivar. Really nice blog anyway.
Wow, thank you. I feel terrible now. I’d hate to be intimidating, but I take it as you intended it – as a compliment. Thank you. I love the photos you take. There’s so much soul and – what can I say.. pure essence. Looking forward to following your future posts. My number one passion is vegetable gardening, but I am no gardener. If you do not mind, I would love to ask your advice every now and then. I am on the south west coast of Norway, so a bit further north than you are, so there are definitely things I cannot grow here that will romp in Surrey. Non the less, it’s nice to connect through common grounds and expand in knowledge.
Your blog is amazing! Thanks for the kind words, lots to catch up on with your blog, all looks so good. Will be following eagerly too. I’m certainly not an expert myself but feel free to ask away anyhow, would love to know more about Norway too, beautiful place. Looking forward to your future posts.
Thanks for deciding to follow my blog. Enjoy!!
