Everything drives me irresistibly to you just as before


"The Beast" - our enormous Begonia × tuberhybrida “Sangria”

It's been another remarkable - and record breaking - hot and sunny Bank Holiday, and once again every moment of it has been spent on the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - lifting and repotting a few plants that were congesting their neighbours, and generally tweaking round the edges, feeding and watering. Oh, and sitting with a cider enjoying the sunshine, of course!

I haven't forgotten it is still a Tacky Music Monday, however - so let's enjoy a little jolly from Canada's own yé-yé girl (turned politician's wife, as I noted before) and today's birthday girl, Mlle Chantal Renaud!


C'est fabuleux!

  1. Girl, I had to comment on your beautiful bloom...so full and colorful!

    Went from the island of fire to the mountains. Now four work days and then off to Rehoboth for a long Labor Day weekend. I hope to be back one day ma dear.

    1. "Work days"? Are you sure you remember what those are, dear?

      Anyhoo, I've spent the weekend admiring huge and impressive blooms - and I have no doubt you have too!

      The flags will be out when you do eventually return to earth... Jx

  3. I managed some light weeding. And then it rained. AND then I was bitten by a horsefly.
