It's a bit warm today and we need some rain. Best we can do is a water feature or two.
. . . and a bit of Zen?

and green.
And this plant has fantastic colouring.
Can't finish without some flowers . . .

A great place for a picnic . . .
. . . and a soothing stroll. Stapehill Abbey, an ex-Cistercian convent, between Wimborne and Ferndown, a few miles from where we live. One of the local P&Q groups held an exhibition here a week ago. The quilts etc looked really nice hung around in various spaces in the buildings. Today Derek and I took a picnic lunch there by the lake, and wandered round the gardens soaking up the variety of colour, shape and texture in the trees, shrubs and flowers.
