A summer bouquet. All that loveliness. All that froth and fizz contained in just one vase! And the scent as rich as walking in a hay meadow after rain. Love this time of year.

This beautiful drone footage of Gwydir was taken by Christopher John Photography (with our permission) last week.

Once the drone lifts over the roof, it's lovely to see the impact of our new buttercup strips. Yes, I know they're only buttercups but seeing them massed like this packs a punch and in amongst them are all manner of wild flowers. Less mowing and full of insects now (where once there was lawn) - and, in our view, a good compromise of formal informality.

Thank you, Christopher.

It’s raining and the cooler air brings the comfort of a jumper and a rest from outside jobs. The dogs stretch, lean into the silence and doze.
