On Monday I took them to see Jane's memorial garden at Louth Hospice. The beauty of the space and the location will always affect me.

This is its first summer since it was moved from RHS Tatton Park at the end of <a href="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/archives/3731" target="_blank" rel="noopener">July 2016</a>. In the bright sunshine the garden looked stunning with daisies dominating most of the garden and the hedge has thickened enough to act as a beautiful back-drop.

As the garden matures it might require some additional work especially as one of the small Yew balls seems to have died. There are only a few foxgloves in the hedgerow and in the original design there were foxgloves around the silver birches.

Before Tony and Jude headed home there was a BBQ at Dave and Lucie's with Nick and Val and it was a bit of a Ballooning Business reunion. After a very hot day it remained warm enough for us to be sitting outside until 11.30 - talking, drinking and laughing. A good time was had by all...
