Enjoy all the unpacking when they arrive. I think one of the attractions when we moved was our love of all the built in bookshelves! <br />Could I also ask a favour? I've finally moved my blog away from Blogspot to a new home on my own website. Might you be able to update the link in your side bar with the new address? It's http://www.muchmorewithless.co.uk/ Fingers crossed it might be possible.<br />Thought of you and the campsite you used to have at the small holding, as we spent this weekend camping in Rendlesham Forest.

My garden is full of Alchemilla Mollis, and I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on the flowers. I find the whole plant beautiful, especially the acid yellow froth of flowers all summer long giving bold contrast to everything else in the borders. They are one of my favourite subjects to photograph, and I fear that at one time I may have bored people with my enthusiasm and constant stream of images ~lolRustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-57336611079007154872017-04-10T13:49:44.022+01:002017-04-10T13:49:44.022+01:00Lady's Mantle was a favorite in my New England...Lady's Mantle was a favorite in my New England garden.
