7 Oct : Tonic

I have been feeling quite ill since I got back home. A real "wrap yourself up in a blanket and snivel" kind of autumn cold.



My father was not very sympathetic and said "people who go to the Mediterranean usually come back with viruses". MrM, on the other hand, has been most solicitous and I do feel very guilty about all the coughing so I am trying my hardest to get better quickly.



I thought it would be soothing to spend time looking at the photos I took at the weekend in Knightshayes Court. The house is a bit bonkers but the garden is wonderful.



The glory of Knightshayes Court is the woodland garden but apparently I only took pictures of flowers. Sorry about that.

  1. We like flowers, so don't fret, but do get well soon. Sending virtual chicken noodle soup...

    1. Thank you! This one has knocked me for six - all that wine in Croatia must have undermined my immunity.

  2. Actual chicken noodle soup in continuous production here (I'm well but others aren't). Homegrown viruses a-plenty - no need to travel to the Med for them. Get well soon. The cough is horrid at night.

  3. Sending lots of get well wishes. Hot toddy (lemon juice, brandy, honey, hot water)? The flower photos are lovely and soothing.

    1. Thank you! I'll skip on the honey but the brandy sounds tempting.

      Do you see the fabulous helichrysum in the last photo? I need a massive lead trough like that - and a courtyard surrounded by beautiful hedges. My window boxes seem rather pathetic now.

  4. Get better soon!! from a well wisher who is struggling with consecutive homegrown viruses plus a wildly popular gastro thing. Would be more bearable if I had seen Croatia! thanks for the cheering flowers, hope they are working for you too!

    1. Thanks Ana! Get better right back atcha! The only consolation that I can offer you is that you have got all your winter viruses out of the way and can impress the rest of us when we are feeling weak in January.
