Weekend pleasures

There's nothing I like more at the weekend than to take a leisurely breakfast on the garden terrace . Today I prepared some fresh fruit, with vanilla yoghurt and some sweet raspberry sauce (left over from Friday's dinner party desert - couldn't let that go to waste!) topped with toasted chopped nuts. To follow a hot croissant with ginger marmalade - yum!

The pool was inviting - I dipped my toes

and contemplated reflections in a blue pot

Watched the cats watching each other,

then strolled around the garden.

Happy to see my new pots of orchids are thriving.

The Rangoon Creeper is in full bloom - its perfume is delicious!

Beautiful Bauhinia - it doesn't stay on the tree for long - monkeys love it!

I counted 9 different varieties of palm tree growing in the garden.

Bananas reaching for the sky (next door)

Bamboo




and wildlife .

I love my garden!

Colours in my garden

I thought I might try my hand at making some mosaics from photos of my garden. Here's a colour themed one with red, green and white. It's quite fun to do - I've used a programme called Mosaic Maker (funnily enough!) by Big Huge Labs, but did find it a bit frustrating as you can't easily move the pics around to get them where you want.
I'll try another when I have a few hours to spare!! P.S. It's possible to see close ups by clicking on the links at my
