This week at Lynwood

Every photo tells a story. Make sure you take a peek at The Old School Masters House where you can see where our great friend Ingrid paid us a visit and took some great shots. Her blog is adorable!

This week at Lynwood we had some welcome rain, and spring is finally getting warmer.

Espaliered heirloom apples form a fence - the perfect spot for a spring breakfast on a warm morning.

and here's a busy bee working hard in the blossom.

John has finished the hedging around the kitchen garden - it's as straight as a die !

First we have the snow drops, then freesias & lastly bluebells, just about finished - here they are beside John's hedge.

Pleached lindens just coming in to leaf, with the hornbeam hedge on the outside.

and here are some more views of the hornbeam walk.

Espaliered sasanqua, and citrus tunnel, in the kitchen garden, with blue wisteria on the coach house in  the background.

Here's another shot of the blue wisteria, together with the tulips (Queen of the Night).

This is the entrance to the kitchen garden.

 

Cottage garden about to come into bloom.

Espaliered apple on the side of the cottage.

pale pink wisteria on the old cow bales - a good place on winter afternoons with the fire going and  a cup of tea

Wavy escalonia hedge

Another pale pink wisteria, on the kitchen verandah (that's me on the left).
