Simply..six years....

30/3/2016

..since I wrote my first blog post! (I managed to miss the anniversary on 23rd March...)

I am growing a dozen or so Baby Blue Eyes, nemophila Menzii - a pretty blue annual in an unusual shade.

In a park in Japan 4.5 million are planted! Can you imagine taking a walk here? Mind-blowingly beautiful.

I may sow a few more next year.

6 years! Congratulations Freda and I think you need a gold star and smiley face (just read your first post) for blogging achievement! ⭐️😊 Your blog is one of my favourite online places - simple, beautiful, inspiring and authentic. And friendly. Thank you.
The park in Japan looks amazing - lovely images to start the day with - they made me smile!

The sea of blue flowers in Japan is amazing, but it is lovely to simply look at the individual blossoms, too. Wonderful shade of blue.

This was the most asked about flower one year on our open garden day.

Congratulations on the blog anniversary, Freda. The sea of blue flowers is lovely and looks so peacefull and inviting (that or I might really need to rest a bit).

I wish I had known you were here six years ago, but at least I know about you now and I can dip into your archive from time to time. Isn't it wonderful when people have a grand vision and carry it out?

I wonder whose idea it was - reminds me of the Olympic Meadows which were as stunning.

Six years of mindful inspiration. Congratulations and Thank you, Freda.
I think I would be overwhelmed by beauty, walking in that park.

Julia I have had such fun, and gained more than I have given from the friends I have made here.
