Oh, nice! Is that your cottage? If so, I am green with envy.
No, sadly not. It was one of 30 that opened in Grindleton and Bolton-by-Bowland last weekend to help support their parish churches.
Ah, well…we can dream. 😉
The photo of cottage is quaint while being chic as well…chic for gardeners who love the cottage approach…of which I am one in designing! I’t all there, the pots, flowers, table, watering cans and the towering sunflower standing watch. Well done, you.
Did you click through to see the summer house in the back garden? It’s another classic.
Love love love these photos. I want to be there!
There were 30 gardens open across two villages and the outlying hills, each garden (and owner!) with a different character.
How lovely!
It’s the archetypal cottage style, isn’t it?
That is the tallest sunflower I have ever seen! The cottage is absolutely charming!
Me too! It’s a giant – almost all stalk.
“Cottage with Sunflower” — you can’t beat that for an irresistible title! How lovely! And I have a sewing machine like that!
Mum had the treadle type when we were younger. I used to sit at it with the lid down and write out stories and make imaginary plant collections out of Dad’s gardening catalogues until they got me my own desk (a little blue one). Mum was perhaps concerned I’d treadle with the machine down and wear something out.
You cut plants out of catalogs to make your own plant collection? And wrote stories too? I’m in awe — you certainly knew your path early on! And all that at a sewing machine? Amazing. My old machine also has a foot pedal, as we called it, but nothing about it ever inspired me to write stories or anything like that. I bet your little blue desk saw many busy hours.
The little blue desk used to be stuffed so full of space books, it would hardly close.
Space books?? As in outer space, galaxies, etc?
Ones about planets.
Such very pretty flowers. I love both these photographs.
It’s part of an idyllic-looking village – except for the traffic on the narrow country lanes!
I could wake up to this everyday! How pretty! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I love pavement gardens – there’s no better way to make a house seem welcoming.
Yes and I must work on mine! Ha. 🙂
Both look like a lovely place to sit with a cup of tea.
They do. Many a tea room would be envious!
That picture of the cottage is so beautiful. It reminds me of the house from Howards End. That sunflower just makes that picture.

Yes, the sunflower is punching above its weight!
Beautiful sunflower photo!
Thank you, Melissa.
