Garden

My biggest fear is being stranded at sea in a storm, which terrifies me. Spiders, I don’t have a problem with but I know more than enough people who would run across lava to get away from them.
It’s about to get a lot busier on the ground as the autumn crops in!

Another rainy day calls for an indoor succulent search. Guernsey Gardens has an amazing selection.

It’s that time year when you may notice a few more eight legged creatures lurking in the hedges.

A friendly little robin perched only a few metres away from me, I assume hoping I would have some food. I passed on the kids Christmas Wishlist and he went on his way.

Whilst watering the plants, the frog jumped out. It’s happened before but there’s absolutely no way in, or out, of our garden unless the gate is open (which it wasn’t) and frogs can’t jump 2 metre high walls and fences!

One of the baby rabbits that lives in the the garden at work. I spotted it in front of my car but had to get into my car first to grab the camera, then stealthily get into position. Took three shots and then he ran off.

The latest prickly visitor to find it’s way into our garden, how, I still have no idea. I’ve found one small gap in the fence, possible big enough for a baby hog to squeeze though. He had ticks on his face so I took him to the GSPCA where I named him Jalfrezi, after my favourite cuisine!

A surprise find in the garden as I was clearing leaves before mowing. I’ve got no idea how it got into the garden as there’s no gap anywhere that’s big enough for a frog. The only explanation I can think of is a bird dropping it in. I let him find a new hiding place for now but I’ll release him near a pond tomorrow.

The humble garden spider. Are you a lover or a hater? Watch out for those ones that come out from under your sofa with the TV light casting a shadow that makes them look like tarantulas!

A quirky little garden store tucked away underneath a raised terrace.

The remains of the Japanese house that once stood here. The house was dismantled in Japan and shipped to Guernsey on a steamboat in the late 1800’s.

With winter on it’s way, the last of the golden leaves hang on for a little longer.

Spotted the tip of this bright vibrant tree driving along Rue a l’Eau. The grounds are bit unloved and the house boarded up which reminded me of a classic film I watched as a kid.
