Plenty - if you just happen to be the magical Temple Guiting in Gloucestershire! Arguably one the finest Grade 1 listed Tudor homes in the Cotswolds, this divine home has just received a garden 'makeover' by the wonderful English Landscape Designer Jinny Blom.
Trained originally as Transpersonal Psychologist and Psychotherapist, Jinny worked extensively with deeply psychologically damaged people. However a 'life changing event - like a river bursting its banks' in 1996, caused a drastic career change & altered her course into garden design. Now, eleven years later, Jinny's background still influences her work. In her view gardens have an uplifting effect on people, architecture and the wider landscape.
Understated, yet incredibly elegant, this garden blends effortlessly with a house that has occupied these 14 acres since the 15th century.

Perfectly gorgeous on our front garden path!
Buds on the Silver Birch tree behind the camelia - hooray!
Our overgrown Winter garden - I can't wait to get out & do some tidying up once it gets a little warmer!
Looking out our Sitting Room window last Sunday. If you look hard enough through the mist, you'll be able to just make out the roof of our neighbour Judith's little stone cottage & the puff of smoke coming from her chimney!
Wet, misty & freezing cold - welcome to a Stirling winter!In amongst the chaos of my week, I found a beautiful moment! Rushing out the door yesterday morning I was greeted by something wonderful - blue skies, warm sun & a blaze of pink on the front garden path!!
It seems all the camelias in Stirling have delayed their colouful arrival this year. It has been the talk of everyone in the village & it appears that our dreadfully dry summer was to blame for their very late appearance. However, I'm very happy to report all is well & when I find a moment to do a wander around the garden over the weekend, I'm sure I'll find all my other favourites about to put on a stunning display.
I was balancing the laptop on my knees in the car yesterday afternoon, the sun was streaming in through the windows & for the first time since March it was just fantastic to have my bones warmed by natural sunlight! It will be short-lived however, as it looks like another cold front is fast approaching, but who cares, for a few hours all was perfect with my world & I'll carry that with me all weekend!
I'm so looking forward to visiting you all & seeing what has gone on in your busy lives this week while I've been otherwise occupied - happy weekend everyone!

One of Adelaide's loveliest suburbs is magical Medindie. Situated just a few minutes from the CBD, Medindie is loved for its large leafy landholdings, generous old Victorian & Edwardian stone villas & beautiful tree-lined shady avenues. Dutton Terrace is one of the most delightful of these boulevards, & Adelaide builder Chris Diamantis through his company Genworth Group, has built this beauty side-by-side with its twin on some rare available land.
While I really like the external appearance, I'm undecided about the interior. I'm going to go out on a limb here & say that the minimalistic look actually doesn't do it much justice. I fact, I'd love to go back to a bare canvas & give it over to the talented & very creative hands of my blogging friends Shawn @ Country French Antiques, Amanda @ Oliveaux, Gina @
Willow Decor & Tracey & Hayley @ Porchlight Interiors. I think a collaborative effort would produce an amazing result! Each have their own individual style, but together I reckon the results would be out of this world!
Then I could add MOTH's & Millie's bit & pieces & move in quite happily!

Meet Jessica Marie Alba in Girls On-line or girls inc. Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren have sold photographs of their newborn daughter Honor Marie to America's OK! magazine for $1.5 million.
In this age of instant information, it's become standard knowledge that one way to measure the popularity of a celebrity is to see how often they are searched on the web.
Meet girls in Jessica Alba on-line. After big-screen roles in Never Been Kissed and Idle Hands, Jessica Alba became the first "It" girl of the century as the title role in James Cameron's sci-fi TV series, Dark Angel. Back from a short hiatus, she starred in the hip-hop dance flick Honey in 2003 and the star-studded Sin City in 2005. She was also showed us her funny side in Good Luck Chuck (2007).
Despite constantly moving across the U.S., Jessica Alba knew she wanted to be an actress from the age of 5. Her career was ready to take off when an agent signed her a mere nine months after 12-year-old Jessica took an acting class. She is local girls with sexy live.
Jessica Marie Alba was born on April 28, 1981, in Pomona, California. The aspiring actress relocated with her family (her Spanish/Mexican-American father was in the Air Force) several times before finally settling down in southern California.
Images Finnish Design Shop I must hastily add here - not in the Biblical sense of the word! Nor has this anything to do with those Finn brothers from the Kiwi band Crowded House. Rather I do need to tell you about the only 2 Finns who have crossed my life's path.
The first when at 16 I became madly infatuated with a gorgeous & much older (20!!) Finnish boy who's girlfriend went to my school. He used to pick her up each day & sometimes he would even smile & say hello to me as I just 'happened' to walk by his car after school. I was quickly smitten & thought he was so sophisticated & wordly studying Fine Arts @ Adelaide Uni. 2 years later, when I had left school & was studying, I ran into him at a pretty wild party one night & he remembered me & showed quite some interest - be still my beating heart!! No names here, as Adelaide is like a big country town & Finns are pretty light on the ground here. However, it took me quite some time to get over the gorgeous Scandanavian one.
The other lovely Finn is my dear friend Nina (Ballerina) from Norman Park in Brisbane. We first met 20 years ago when we were both working for the same Company but in different cities. We hit it off immediately & became the best of mates & have always kept in contact. Amazingly, 3 years ago, we ended up working together again but for a different U.S. Company. We had a most 'memorable' trip together to Boston for work in 2006 - but I must hold up the 'what goes on tour stays on tour' card here!! Mainly to do with the amount of shopping I did & her very 'creative' advice about how to explain the shocking state of my Mastercard to MOTH!! Bless you my friend!!
So this post is dedicated to all things Finnish - lovely people who's designs aren't too shabby either!!
