What weather that we have in England, from rain and grey skies to very warm and sunny. It seems impossible that just a few days ago nothing was blooming and now the garden is bursting with colour. I love these gentle Aquilegias in such soft shades.
There is something quite fairy like about them. They self seed everywhere and surprise you when they come up the following year.
Mrs Black has been chasing the country mice, a favourite game of hers. I've been busy painting in the garden as although I do have a tiny studio all the prepartion work is done outside to avoid dust getting everywhere so summer is a very busy time. It was so hot that the paint was drying as I brushed it on!

If Mrs Black had been with me she's have insisted I bought this charming cat with ball of wool figure. So sweet and lifelike. |

A bit Alice in Wonderland, I love this giant key and pale pink Lloyd Loom chair. |
