Welcome!

Thanks for visting Simply The Nest. I'm an English girl married to an Portuguese boy, and when I'm not taking care of our adorable baby girl, I blog about our house renovation, DIY projects, delicious recipes, design, inspirational interiors, and  family life in a little Manchester nest. Oh, and Jack Russells (we have two). And our five year masterplan to move to France. Très bien.

A Year In The Secret Garden - June

Manchester is melting! In fact, the whole of England is melting. Loving it. Andre and I actually had to buy an air con unit cos our casa was tropically hot.

So, here's how the garden is looking right now - everything is blooming:

Lovely clematis:

Blue alliums:

Pretty pink flowers:

Scarlet gladioli:

Sunny sitting spots:

And of course a panting suntanning Miss Penelope:

Here's how the hidden patio is looking:

Compared to how it looked in the winter:

Glorious. Click here to see the monthly garden photos in an album.

Mmm, braai tonight, I think. Hope you are enjoying the summer too!
