It was time to visit Flowers Green Nursery once more. I love this nursery in Herstmonceux. Me, Steve and my brother James, arranged to meet my niece Hazel there, have a good look round and go for a walk on the marshes nearby.
It was a warm, sunny day and we had the nursery almost to ourselves. The pumpkin display showed an amazing variety. They are grown close by in two fields.
We had a good look round all the fabulous plants, such good prices and so healthy.
Here are my choices, in a pink and mauve theme.
But I did get four lovely geraniums at less than half price. I am hoping to over-winter them in my warm greenhouse.
The wall was over-grown with ivy and ferns.
A little further down the lane we cut through from the farm track and set off on a circular walk on the Pevensey marshes.
The area is cut through with drainage ditches and the Hurst Haven river. It is mainly used for grazing. It is also a conservation area.
We saw a wary swan with four cygnets and we disturbed a heron which rose from the river edge and swooped off on its huge wings.
The path edges were lined with a positive larder of goodies.
Blackberries, probably a bit far gone ...
.... .hawthorn ....
It was baking hot.
We made our way back towards the church through a harvested field of maize.
A lovely walk on a lovely day.
Looks like a great walk!
