I’m not sure this place has ever been so colourful. A lot of it is accidental but that makes it all the more splendid. And dotted around are examples of nature that are well just delightful…

About TanGental
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published four books - Dead Flies and Sherry Trifle, My Father and Other Liars, Salisbury Square and Buster & Moo. In addition I have published three anthologies of short stories and a memoir of my mother. More will appear soon. I will try and continue to blog regularly at geofflepard.com about whatever takes my fancy. I hope it does yours too.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.
It is just gorgeous. You should be charging folks to view it!

Your garden is magnificent, Geoffle. Sure you didn’t go off to the Botanical Gardens and apply a bit of creative licence? I should pinch your photos and claim them as my own garden. Ours is a wreck. That said we did some pruning and that’s all being churned through the woodchipper. So, at least we’ve done something. I’m thinking of filling pots with red geraniums which are almost impossible to kill.
Best wishes,
Ro

Cosmos and snaps are some of my favorites. What is that critter with the pincers, Geoff? I wouldn’t want to come across him while planting! lol

A stag beetle. They are super and not at all aggressive. When they fly at night they sound like asthmatic Helicopters

Yes, the colour is wonderful but so is the big black bug sitting atop the tortoise – I wonder if either knows of the others existence…….
