It's been so hot that guests have been spending whole languorous days by the pool. I suspect that no-one wants me there gardening while they're trying to relax, so the garden is looking rather relaxed itself.

 

Recently lovely Kate-The-Human-Fish and her kind husband Darren came to stay. I was apologising for the fact that the garden looks a tad dishevelled. Today professional gardener Kate sent me this fab photo, with the reassuring words "I wanted to send this photo of the garden by the pool because you sounded so worried about how it looks. This is how it looks to guests - gorgeous! So stop worrying!"

You see what I mean? People who come to stay at Le Couvent are just So Very Lovely.

Thank you Kate.
