Beetle on Cornus flowers based on photo taken at RHS Rosemoor, June 2010.
All quiet on the blogging front from me at the moment I am afraid. I have managed to escape Tumbledown Farm for a short time and have spent the last week in sunny Devon. I have visited some pretty inspirational gardens and must confess to being completely blown away by Keith Wiley's gardens (watch this space for photos coming soon!). I have managed to go a whole week without the internet -shock, horror! It was a bit of a shock to the system at first, but I survived! It did have some funny side effects mind you, one of which led to me playing around with my photographs a little more than usual. I have put a couple of the arty farty results here!
I am alas another year older today... sob! It has been a quiet affair with me drowning my sorrows in plants. I always find a bit of HRT (Horticultural Retail Therapy) gets me through the difficult times. Although I shall not be saying no to a glass of wine later ;o)
So I am still roaming the country for a few more days, indeed I think I can hear The Cotswold's calling to me now. Lots of garden visits will follow soon, I promise!

One year younger? Happy Birthday to you!!! Enjoy your day, and I'll wait for the pictures of the beautiful garden you visited.
Love your art!
Happy late birthday, I had one two days ago too. Tougher getting older, but you will never be as young as you are today ! Me either , take care, Gina
Happy Birthday! Looking forward to seeing the Cotswold gardens. (And get back to picking please, I am trying to comment instead in future)
Happy Birthday! Mine is on the 29th. I'll be 53 and I'm proud of it! The way I look on Birthdays is that you either have them or you're dead! I'm happy to have them and I relish every year.
I hope yours is a happy and healthy one.

Happy birthday to you, RO! Love the arty prints, and the fact that you got to visit Keith Wiley's garden is wicked awesome. I have his book 'On the Wild Side' and enjoy it very much.
Happy Birthday, RO; love the allium detail. -Jean

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, and a savory glass of wine. I don't blog about my Birthday, LOL, that means it doesn't exist, and I don't get any older.
Sounds like you are having fun, and those photos are great.

Thanks for all the lovely comments and birthday wishes. I suppose 32 isn't too bad, it could be worse!
I had a lovely birthday and a wonderful trip to the Cotswolds to visit gardens with the incredibly energetic and bubbly Galloping Gardener. It is certainly a birthday I will remember :o)
Kiki I can totally understand you not visiting Blotannical much, I am really not terribly happy with the changes there, it just is not the same place anymore...
