Yesterday we visited Holt Organic Gardens, open Thursdays, near Blagdon in North Somerset, where Yeo Valley Yogurt is made. It was heaven, I took loads of pictures so a few each day. I visit lots of gardens for inspiration and steal ideas but I am not usually envious of other peoples gardens, in this case I was.

| Annual coreopsis |
A whole field of coreopsis, a variation on wildflower meadows stunning and unexpected as this is the first wild bit after the formal garden rooms.
The next images are from the gravel garden

| sedum and others |

Today is my birthday so we went to the Cove Restaurant in Weston-super-Mare, its right on the beach with lovely views across the channel. We had a huge bowl of Cornish mussels a lovely white wine and blueberry cheesecake with blueberry compote.
And beautiful weather on both days. I've had some lovely presents including a pocket sized camera so no more missed opportunities.
Over the weekend I am taking part in a workshop run by Dail Behennah so couldn't wish for a better few days oh apart from missing out on India Flint's workshops in the UK.
