Feeling the blue

At times when I'm feeling a little blue there is nothing that makes me feel better than a little garden therapy.

Some women buy shoes, I tend my garden...

Spending time in my tranquil haven I have  created entirely myself (ok with a bit of labouring from the OH ) listening to the sounds of nature and watching things bloom works better for me than any Prozac.

I recently experimented with the new Valspar masonry paint from B&Q. Coming in 1000's of colours a large tester pot is currently 99p.. oh the possibilities.

So I started off with a warm blue on one retaining wall. I wasn't sure at first but now I am in love with it and I have added further accents in this colour to tie it all in.
It kind of reminds me of the Yves Saint Laurent garden in Marrakech which I have been lucky enough to visit twice..

P.S. my garden is only tranquil when the hounds are not conversing with the neighbours dog.
