The gardens at Bourton House in the north Cotswolds yesterday, hanging heavy with summer raindrops
England has been sun drenched this month, so the drenching downpours yesterday were a welcome excuse to wind up the garden hose and instead curl up with a book. My nose is firmly in Ian McEwan’s ‘Atonement’- a perfect summer read, even on a rainy day

It’s been one of those slow , scruffy Saturdays ..... Jimmy Jumbo is in urgent need of the poodle parlour and my hair’s been scraped up in a top knot while pottering in the greenhouse ...... perfect . For the keen eyed @emma_bridgewater guys out there , can you spot my terrier mug ? had to have it didn’t I ? ! Sending relaxed Saturday vibes your way this evening ... #saturdayvibes #greenhouse#lovemydog#dogsofinstagram #terrier#sealyhamterrier #gardenlove #gardening #englishcountryhouse #loveofcountryhouses #tea#summertime #countryliving#cute#emmabridgewater
Staying with last weeks theme of Summer entertaining for today’s #followfriday, here we have the home and garden of one of my favourite insta-crushes, the inimitable Alice Naylor-Leyland (known on Instagram as @mrsalice ).
Classically stylish and ‘Oh so glamorous’, Alice’s squares depict a fairytale vision of English country life with a particular emphasis on impeccably styled entertaining. Alice is the sophisticated ‘post-Graduate’ level in garden entertaining to my rather more haphazard and have-a-go ‘Freshman’ student - however, it is her Mother @serena_fresson (also found at @tabledressup) who holds the ‘Masters Degree’ in all things Table style! Go have a look at them both to see glorious table settings at their best to suit every occasion. Enjoy! x

Exceptionally pretty doorway in Oddington - one of the most desirable villages in the Cotswolds. #village #evenlode #cotswolds #villagelife #englishvillage #beautifulvillage #villages #cotswoldvillage #thecotswolds #gloucestershire #daylesford #moretoninmarsh #stowonthewold #cotswoldlife #countryhouse #loveofcountryhouses #houseandgarden #cottage #cottagestyle #cottagegarden #lavender #door #prettydoor #frontdoor #househunter #househunting #propertysearch #property #gardendesign #architecture
You know how much I love houses next to churches, surely this is the next best thing: a cottage with its own bell tower. Brilliant for calling the children in for meals. #bells #belltower #thebells #churchbells #esmerelda #cottage #cotswolds #gloucestershire #cottagestyle #architecture #eccentric #notredame #quasimodo #summonedbybells #eccentric #englishhouse #countryhouse #loveofcountryhouses #houseandgarden #thecotswolds #cottagelife #fairford #lechlade #riat #househunter #househunting #propertysearch #property #cute #dreamhouse
