Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum & BookshopHello Parlour friends!
Where has the time gone?? One minute the sun was shining gloriously and now we are well and truly into autumn!
We are putting our garden to bed for the winter - sort of - so weāve been beavering away doing that. If there are lovely seed heads or grasses, Iāll leave those for when the frost settles on them later in the season. Also weāre having the slabs and gravel updated in front of the Pottering Shed and the Wendy House. Itāll be so much nicer and safer to boot.
Iāve done one lovely installation at the fabulous Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum & Bookshop for the anniversary weekend in September, so I thought Iād share Sam in his meadowscape. I really loved creating this, I hope you like it. I confess when I pop in to the museum, I always think of the Blackadder Georgian series when Baldrick burned the dictionaryā¦. 𤣠simply genius.
As soon as my groundwork has been completed, Iāll share the photos with you. In the meantime, what have you been up to? How are your gardens looking? Iād love to see what youāve been doing
