I'm a huge fan of green and white gardens.<br />One of the plus points (are there any?) of so much rain, is that the gardens look so vivid, beautifully captured in your photos.<br />Hope you have a lovely week,<br />LizxThe Snowdrop Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727810176813017510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907830779862347023.post-43652782450090109632012-06-19T09:46:48.911+02:002012-06-19T09:46:48.911+02:00Hi Madelief,

Lucky me I don't get wet or cold while looking at these pretty images. Today we had about 30 degrees celsius and that's just a little bit too hot for me - so it's a great joy for me to send you a portion of our beautiful sunshine :O) : ☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼<br />Lots of Küschelbüschels, TraudeRostrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901976103765887360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907830779862347023.post-12083737905836903672012-06-18T20:09:59.821+02:002012-06-18T20:09:59.821+02:00Hej Madelief, zelfs met regen heb je prachtige fot...Hej Madelief, zelfs met regen heb je prachtige foto's gemaakt.

I agree with you on the literature ...Hi Stephanie,<br /><br />I agree with you on the literature of Sissinghurst and Vita Sackville West. It is pure inspiration. Do you know the book 'Among the bohemians' by Virginia Nicholson? You may like it too. I also enjoyed reading Harold Nicolsons book 'Journey to Java' on which he and his wife cruised to Java and back. At that time they were both in their seventies.<br /><br />Wish you a happy new week!<br /><br />Madelief xMadeliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906326152435858221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907830779862347023.post-23415288677898575822012-06-18T19:49:30.049+02:002012-06-18T19:49:30.049+02:00Hi Sanne,

When you go on holiday to England you know (like in Holland) that the weather is unpredictable :-)! The rain really added to the beauty. Making it all look lush and green. Furthermore, there were not that many people in the garden. At the end of the afternoon the rain stopped and we had a 'dry hour' in the garden!<br /><br />Hope your beautiful weather will continue, so that you can spend time outside! <br /><br />Wish you a happy new week too!<br /><br />Madelief xMadeliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906326152435858221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907830779862347023.post-2877231128729346272012-06-18T19:45:14.883+02:002012-06-18T19:45:14.883+02:00I have got a huge smile on my face reading your co...I have got a huge smile on my face reading your comment Koralee!
