What a beautiful house from the 17th century in my village in Germany.
It was renovated in 2015 to it’s original glory.
Food for thought
Always remember to forget the things that made you sad, but never forget to remember the things that made you glad.
Keep your happy memories close!
Recently we found another lovely oasis
called Hall Place.
A dear friend gave me some photograpy tips
and I am rather proud of this picture.
Hall Place is a historic house with 500 year history from 1537
surrounded with a garden.
It has the Queen’s Beasts, enormous heraldic animal topiary
planted in 1953 in celebration of the coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
It has a Rose Garden
Pollinators were still very busy
We saw beautiful butterflies in the Butterfly House

The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of our 5 senses. Hanna Rion
Again I went with my lovely friend to
Hyde Hall Garden as there was a Flowershow.
I totally loved it again. (see last post here)
Now in August, other flowers bloome,d
the sun was shining, a summer breeze in our hair…
Some close ups with my Canon Camera
Bees were pollinating.
Plants make people happy !
We had a wonderful day, we were very happy in this garden.
A garden is not a place but a journey.
I leave you with a sea of Echinaceas
Wishing you a wonderful Summer !
BE YOU Be like water, keep flowing along, Be like the wind, blowing soft or strong, Be like the earth - nurturing, healing, Be like the sky - open, revealing, Be like the fire burning bright, Be like the sun, bringing warmth and light. Above all, be YOU

I love that poem and got permission to share it here.
A wonderful friend invited me to
It has themed gardens like
Cottage Garden, Modern Country Garden,
Dry Garden, Rose Garden and more.
Now in June/July everything is blooming,
such a joy to walk through gardens.
We had a wonderful time and took many photos.
Please sit with me on the bench and enjoy the beauty!
Rest awhile, take in the beauty that surrounds you.
A beautiful garden is a haven of happiness.
