Thought I'd just do a quick post before I go off on my mini adventure to the Vintage and Handmade Fair in Chipping Sodbury on Saturday, preceded by meandering my way down tomorrow, via whatever little towns I can find and avoiding motorways on the way.If you see me at the fair do say hello - it would be lovely to meet you!
The top picture is auriculas in my garden - love these little flowers with my little Sylvac dog amongst them! The auricula theatre alas isn't mine - it's at Calke (National Trust) in Derbyshire and is at its best when its used for its designed purpose.
This is my favourite auricula (Calke's not mine). Isn't the flower dramatic?
I must away - there are 3 guys called Nick, Gordon and David awaiting my attention on the sofa!
Have a good weekend!
Love Wend
Hi Wend
ReplyDeleteGorgeous auriculas. So pleased to be meeting you on Saturday at last (far end of the hall, left hand side I think!). Have a jolly time meandering ...

Have a great time on Saturday Wendy. I am listening to the same 3 guys while I am typing this.

Aren't they magic little flowers - they look as if they have been designed by an embroiderer.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the fair.
Have a lovely time, what a pretty flower it looks like it's dusted in snow.

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time at Chipping Sodbury. It is on my doorstep and I would have loved to have met you but can't go to this one. Loved the pictures of auriculas, especially the theatre.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time...I'm envious.

Auriculas are such charming and old fashioned looking plants. Sadly, I have never had much success with growing them.
ReplyDeleteThose auriculas are gorgeous. They are so perfect they look unreal.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time. xxx
ReplyDeleteHi, I used to live in the Midlands near Worcester and I collected Auriculas (try Ashwood Garden Centre and the Malvern Spring Show).
ReplyDeleteNow I live in Devon and run This'n'That.

Hope all went well at the fair.
ReplyDeleteAuriclas are just so beautiful, so cheery.
