‘that’s the way to do it!’

M is for

Mister Punch!

yesterday in the garden

A newly mown path through the long grass leads the eye to the paddock beyond.

…

Enticing prospect, but instead I take the shingle path snaking down through the big herbaceous bank to the lawn.

…

Ceanothus and tree-lupin to my right…

…

… and iris to the left.

…

Continue down past mass-planted euphorbia…

…

… pausing only to glance back up to the house.

…

Approach the shade of the viburnum where under-planted  lily-of-the-valley scent the air.

…

Turn back and admire the black elder…

…

… before continuing under the newly-flowering laburnum and out into the open.

…

A cardoon next to the drive has exploded into magnificent growth!

…

Surprise surprise. Look who’s under it waiting for me!

And how did he know which route I’d take?
