NB @acorncakes - for our next AmDram production for @PewshamBellesWI, here I am auditioning for the horrified discoverer of the body role 🤣😱

Just found on my phone. The most excellent company. Can’t remember why we were looking so horrified. #gdnbloggers

RIP David Austin, you've bought joy to do many gardeners and gardens. Here's 'Kew Gardens' for #DavidAustinWednesday, always the first and last to bloom in my garden #RoseWednesday 😍🌹

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@rosesukroses It's amazing there just after sunset, really lights up 🌹

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@rosesukroses @papaver @valgardening @charbhardy Here's mine yesterday evening 😍

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@rosesukroses I see @specialplants is using them at #rhsbadminton, seeing her and their locations, I now understand why

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@rosesukroses I'm rather taken with the cat one plus the dragonfly one in your photos. Prepared to spend some £££s - I was lucky to get some large Yorkshire pots ones for half price at Wisley about 15 years ago, but 2 have finally succumbed to the frost. I like that understated look x

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@papaver Ahhh, the putting it out to rinse! It's happened here too 🤣

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@rosesukroses @GWandShows @papaver @valgardening @charbhardy Hurray! Love those splashes of pinky red 😍 🌹

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

It's lovely to see them back

Pause for a midweek moment with a couple of fallow deer. 🦌🦌

@Joon123 @rosesukroses @papaver @RHSWisley @charbhardy @valgardening Yes, she played Ruby

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@rosesukroses @papaver @RHSWisley @charbhardy @valgardening George... don't do that

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@valgardening @NewbyHallGarden @GylesB1 @GardenDotHelp @emmamasonpr @NewbyHall So sorry to miss this and you! But I was needed down here x

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@valgardening @NewbyHallGarden @GylesB1 @GardenDotHelp @emmamasonpr @NewbyHall Did you get to go on the train as well?

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@rosesukroses @papaver @valgardening @charbhardy Amazed you missed it all in Hampshire, our part of the storm suddenly appeared over Southampton/Dorset/Salisbury before it tracked north to join up with the fun happening over the midlands

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@papaver @rosesukroses @valgardening @charbhardy I saw it had kicked off over Leicestershire too! We had an epic storm here, I've never seen so much forked lightning that went on for hours, thankfully we missed the golf ball sized hail which hit other parts of town

@rosesukroses @valgardening @papaver @charbhardy Rambling Rector emerged from his sleep today!

[🐝Michelle Chapman🌿🐦 @Malvernmeet]

@rosesukroses @valgardening @papaver @NetherfieldV2 @charbhardy Typical! Just about to go garden bothering with a dear friend over from the States. On the other hand we really need that rain!
