Beautiful June
Everything seems to be flowering at once this month in the garden. The warm wet weather has bought lots of buds and growth but not so many butterflies this year. The prolonged wet weather was not good for the outdoor vegetable seeds, I'm on my second lot of bean sowings as the first were lost to slugs and pigeons but have managed to get some shallots and rhubarb going.
I have begun another lawn spiral, this time in the front, they start off pretty unruly but after few mows settle down. If you are tempted to try one & have an electric mower, please make sure you remember where the cable is at all times.

Nigella, tiarella & green alkanet
bearded iris, knautia and lavender

On a visit to Hestercombe Gallery, May 2021 (Landscape Portrait: Now and Then)
The clear line dissects
A horizon drawing the view
Everything else
Left to others to construe
And here are old favourites
With anecdotal charm
The chance meeting in quiet rooms
Shapes of another time, another place
Of older artscapes we have
Wandered in
Lyme Bay & Exmouth
All along the coast
Each footstep piled
Like stepping-stones
These landscapes we fossil
For memory bones
A washing line of memories
Pinned up, black & white
Reminding me of another day
Stitching it all together
While we unpick meaning
Letting our lives fall
Moments windblown
Petals on a lawn
Old walls and footsteps
Gossip in these halls now
A slow travelling
And in the blink of an eye
Time & timelessness combine
I remember the first time I saw
Leonardo da Vinci’s cartoon
It was no laughing matter
An acme moment
With a view
The triptych
(plant in threes)
The densely wooded landscape
(Of your knees)
Here tenderness grows
Wrapped in human clothes
Rain obscures the Jekyll garden now
A pattern of drops on the windowpane
Echoing art
Art echoes
Again
The exhibition can be found at:
