….Entrances
Here are two I’m entranced by:
(sorry the picture quality is so awful…these were taken on my telephone)
How much do I love these two entrances?
VERY much is how much!
The one on the left was taken somewhere off the M3 motorway. The little tiny crack of a flowerbed is planted with begonias and polyanthus..leading your eye to…..
yes! – a little plastic gnome-dog. To the right (and sadly out of the picture) was a small bed of kniphofia…adorable.
There’s a sort of careful thoughtfulness here that I find moving.
And the one on the right is a glorious orgy of Solanum (potato vine) and Trachelospermum (star jasmine), along with a little white climbing rose. I love the abundance of it…of course x

I love front gardens too, there is a great generosity in them. They give such pleasure to strangers who the gardening owners will never know. There is heroism too. When you are in a very built up area, to find a maintained front garden as you drive past on a dual carriageway with all its noise and pollution, and the care taken by one person to inject some humanity into this concrete jungle, a front garden becomes movingly defiant.
Ursula…I love that heroism aspect you talk about. At the moment I am trying to be a hero with my neon pineapple broom and newly planted wisteria….today I think i’ll add some jasmine into the mix!
They both look beautiful but my favorite is the one on the right! I love jasmine and I can only imagine how good it must smell when you walk by this entrance
Have a wonderful day!
Yes, the scent was wafting up at me as I took the picture…gorgeous isn’t it?
Oh my goodness I want to live in that house on the right. Looks like the cottage from that Roald Dahl book, Matilda!
