A wild garden

The wet summer and our absence has encouraged our south coast garden to run wild. There are swirls of butterflies on the buddlia and crowds of wasps gorging themselves on the Discovery apples. The air is scented with sweet flower scents and a rather warming cider aroma from all the apples.

 

This tree was grown from a conker picked up in the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. It will be far too big for the garden... what shall I do?

My favourite place - overgrown!

Not our garden but my regular walk in the woods for 20 years. This view of the village only appeared after  some of the trees were cut and more were replanted a few years back - it will disappear again as the trees grow.
