Marigolds...this is the first year they've not really grown in the wall in our garden. I found lots of ants in one area, so think the whole lot needs pulling out and new plants to go in for next year. Gardening really is my thing. So tips on getting rid of ants in a wall are welcome. Or will they just die by a certain time? . . . . . . . #marigold #captures_flowers #flowercloseup #lovelyhappypic #raw_flowers   #alltheprettyflorals #explore_floral #flowersofautumn  #fortheloveofflowers #FlowerDetails  #flowersgram #flowerperfection #gardenphotogrqphy #total_myorange #myworld_in_orange #autumncolourloving #color_captures #Amazingshots_color  #naturespalette #lovethistimeofyear #highlightsofhappy  #everythingeyecatching #seasons_inbloom  #BrightenYourday  #MoodForFloral #welcomeToDetails #daysofsmallthings #poetryOfSimpleThings  #shared_colored_moments  #amonthinfavourites

Sunflowers . I finally made it to a sunflower field this week, v local to me. Post on the blog is up about this one and others around the UK.

Love the daisies around one of the nearby village churches. Loving that I've got a week of leave after a v hectic last 4 weeks. And loving the Olympics. I'll watch pretty much everything all day given the chance (although the OH hates it and N just keeps popping in to see what's on).

Love the wild chives that appear each year. Easy to grow (not sure where ours arrived from) and the bees love them. #wildchives #flowers_shotz #gardensofinsta  #englishcountrygarden #chives #floralfix #awesome_flowers #bloomandgrow #natureonthepage #natureshooters #flowerstagramer #flowers_earth  #lovelyhappypic #purpletuesday #purpleflowers #capturingbritain_nature #kings_outdoors #mygardenthismonth #color_captures #ihavethisthingwithpurple #summercolourloving #colourful_shots #purpleandgreen #color_captures  #naturespalette  #appreciate_uk #macroandflora #macroflowershot #kings_macro  #explore_macro

Love where we live. So many pretty houses and views, gorgeous flowers and views nearby.

While I love the buttercups in our garden, my father in law keeps moving to get rid of them. But they keep returning. One day back in work today wasn't too bad and now to a weekend of more sun, a pub lunch party for N and hopefully a catch up for me with a friend. What weekend plans do you have?

SUMMER in the countryside is looking pretty.

FORGET-ME-NOTS I love the mix of colours in the one cluster of flowers. Our front garden has loads of these. Welcome to the weekend? N has tennis this evening and a playmate tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get a bit of a catch up too. Just hoping it doesn't rain.

FRIENDLY I love how interested cows are in us even when I don't see them that regularly. Pretty much all of ours are now out enjoying the fields. . . . #cowstagram #rural_worth #farming #farmanimals #farmlifeisthebestlife #be_one_rural #cowsofinstagram #cattle #cows_my_love #happycow #farm_snaps #countrysideandfarmlife  #farmphotography #LifeOnTheFarm #pocket_farms #ig_rural #ruralphotography #everything_animals #rural_love  #animalworld #animal_captures #animalsmood #ok_animals #postyoureverydaylife #embracingslowerlife #brimfulofcurious  #lovelyhappypic #holdthemoments

OUTDOORS we spend a lot of time at the tennis courts, 3 times a week usually. I rarely play, but it's basically my social life talking to the other parents. Mostly they're very fit and go running while I watch and read. Next time I might go for a walk exploring the village. But I do love watching the kids play. Do you make use of your children's activity time or watch the sessions? . . . . . . #huts #tenniscourts #bitsofbuildings #mydarlingbritain #littlepiecesofbritain #YourBritain #warwickshire #igerswarwickshire #feelslikespring  #springStories #lovelyhappypic #simplethingsmadebeautiful  #TodaysGoodThing  #shared_colored_moments #raw_reflection #reflection_perfection #loves_reflection #capturingcolour #blueinmyframe #capturethatone  #mintgreen #coloursofspring #Amazingshots_color #photosofengland  #blueskyday #rurallife  #reflections #total_reflections  #myeverydaymagic #mybritainwithlove
