You Can Leave Your Hat On... ... I believe he sang, Joe Cocker, all those years ago... And here, in my favourite garden, a hat may be advisable to shield you from the sun, but on some days you need not worry about any other clothing, as The Naked Gardeners welcome visitors in their birthday costumes on certain dates throughout the season... However, on Friday last week when I revisited Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury, it was a normal day, where the only nudity on display was offered by a few statues in the glorious, creative and inventive gardens that constitute this green gem. The photo above was taken from the tiny island in the river, a perfect spot from which to admire the majestic backside (no pun intended!) of the house. I love the contrast of the wilder, "junglier" area down by the river, after having admired the slightly more formal garden rooms in front of the house. The sun loungers looked very appealing on this sunny day, as did a game of chess... The front of the house is covered in an array of gorgeous green leaves and more colourful floral phenomena... And when we sat down for a drink in the café by the koi carp pond, Robbie came to say hello. Well, Robbie admittedly seemed more interested in the biscuits my fellow garden admirers were munching than in any real bird-human bonding, but even so, I fell in love with this little feathery fellow! Now look at those curves! I LOVE this section of the garden, with the funky gigantic green head, the lollipop trees and all the shaped box hedges and trees...! Gorgeous giant poppies, red, pink and white, all looking as if made of silky paper... Now, I am not the kind of girl who forces people to do things, nor do I tend to give unsolicited advice to my friends, but I may just have to make an exception here... You simply HAVE to visit this garden one day! It is a very special place and if you do not find at least one spot in the five acres of green loveliness that makes you weak at the knees or at least filled with a desire to plant your bottom on the lawn and just be for a moment, soaking up the view from your tranquil spot, well, then I am not sure what to say! There are loads more photos from this garden under the heading Abbey House Gardens in my Categories - please feel free to browse them should you like to see more. Blog posts are not exactly bombarding your screens from The Swenglish Home at the moment. Summer hibernation has set in, I am afraid, and I spend more hours outdoors than in at the moment, far, far away from screens and keyboards. I hope you are also enjoying the warmer season. A special thank you to all of your who still pop in to visit my quasi-dormant corner of the blog world, and a special-special thank you for kind comments! With much love, Helena

Bien plus connue outre-atlantique qu'en France, Tasha Tudor (1915-2008) était une célèbre auteure et illustratrice de livres pour enfants. Considérant ne pas être née à la bonne époque, elle a vécu très longtemps dans une jolie maison isolée entourée d'un jardin enchanteur, sans eau ni électricité et en quasi autarcie, cultivant fruits et légumes, et cousant elle-même ses vêtements, dans un univers que n'aurait pas renié la famille Ingalls. Ce faisant, c'est tout un univers enchanteur et bucolique qu'elle nous proposait de découvrir et qu'elle a partagé souvent au gré des ouvrages qui lui ont été consacrés. Un univers où elle a vécu heureuse ainsi, sans aucun doute, que tous ceux qui ont eu la chance de pouvoir lui rendre visite.

Certes, il en faut pour tous les goûts mais pour ce qui me concerne, les jardins au gazon tondu bien ras, troués de quelques arbres et les jardins à la Française en général, aussi beaux soient-ils, ne sont pas ma tasse de thé. Je préfère, et de loin, les jardins à l'Anglaise.
