Notes From Her Outdoors

I love the great outdoors. There's a lot out there to keep me fascinated.

Throughout 2010 I attempted to blog every new thing I saw as it came into season, wandered past me, or was found hiding in a sneaky niche.

Now I have the task of naming all the life I recorded - life was never sweeter.

This year I'm recording the things that catch my eye. and hopefully, will catch yours too.

Wish me luck, I'm going out!

What A Sweetie - Thursday 27.5.10



At one of my customers, I came across this absolute beauty.





My customer had planted a SWEET CHESTNUT  seed about 20 years ago, and this was the result. The tree has a slim trunk and stands about 30 feet tall. My, now elderly,  customer saw several, in bloom along the road to BISLEY, Glos., as she walked to work from Stroud every day. She waited until the Autumn and the setting of the fruit, which she gathered, brought home and planted, so that she, and people like me, could admire it in perpetuity.

NOW THERE'S A WOMAN WITH AN EYE FOR BEAUTY AND THE FUTURE!
