wonderful fragrance!
We have several tours from Japan in
the next few days......a couple of days
on the weekend we have 3 tours each day.
In between tour days we have upkeep to
do and hopefully some down time!
All our tours are booked through a local
tour company and are mainly
people from Japan.
However, when things slow down a
bit later in July I will have a couple
of open garden evenings and I still
plan to have an Afternoon Tea Party
in August but more on that later.
Happy Summer!

It's very lovely, Carolyn. I do think that the color change you've made on the table and chairs and the shutters is wonderful. I am loving the bed under the window as well.
