As I have mentioned many times* we are incredibly lucky to live a couple of minutes walk (down to the end of our dead-end cobbled street) from Lady Kitty's Garden (or the Secret Garden as we tend to call it). Recently, I have been using the garden a lot. It is a perfect wee walk for me and Katie when we both need some fresh air and a change of scene. And, once we are there, Katie can run around and explore with, pretty much, total freedom. Often, we are the only people there (except perhaps for the gardener) which makes it feel even more like Our Secret Garden.
I think, however, that we'll be visiting less over the summer holidays as the boys can't play with a ball in there and dogs aren't allowed (I fully understand both rules - they just don't suit all my family members!).....and wee Susie is going to be allowed out for walks in 10 days or so. As of this afternoon we're in holiday mode. I'm looking forward to giving the children a chance to unwind and just be children for a few weeks. I do hope you have some fun things to look forward to over the summer too.
** These bibs were dropped off at Peter Potter Gallery yesterday morning - just opposite the garden

The garden looks and sounds beautiful, lucky you!
I love the photos, such a good idea to try new things once in a while, even if you do get funny looks!
Have a wonderful summer holiday x
What a beautiful garden, I love the photo of Katie on the grass full of daisies. It looks like your bib photo came out well. Enjoy your summer holidays with the children. Julie x

What an amazing secret garden perfect to display your beautiful creations x
What a delightful place! How lucky you are to have it on your doorstep :D
How lovely to have a secret garden. Easy reach too. I have dreams to set part of our garden up as a secret garden, but not on the same scale.
That's a beautiful garden. I'm very close to Blenheim Palace and the lovely gardens there and often walk them. It would be absolutely wonderful to have a walled garden at one's house, wouldn't it? But the work!!! :)
Oh wow, that looks like a fab place to visit!
