It was, we spent it looking round Pakenham open gardens, a fabulous day to be looking at lovely gardens - and yours doesn't look bad either! 
And I didn't even have to pay to get in.
£5 each!!! I was amazed, the last time I went round it was £2.50 a few years ago.
View from my patio at 7 this morning. What a lovely day.
Aha, you know more than you think! Campanula are Canterbury Bells.
It looks drab all winter, and then almost overnight in early May when the Wisteria blooms, it suddenly looks ok.
That's the magic of gardens.
I bet it is. I would hate it.
We had to move fast, for work, lost a house and this one (smallish with big garden) and another one were the only ones in the area in our price range. The other one was a large beamed farmhouse - magical. Big garden, quiet road, gorgeous pond and summerhouse.
But the runway at Mildenhall was at the end of the garden. We were so lucky, we would never have noticed if there hadn't been a gap in the HUGE hedge and I peered through it and asked DBH what it could be! The estate agent didn't look all that pleased!
Sweet rocket seeds everywhere in my garden so I use it as natural support for the delphiniums and if it gets a bit too full of itself I cut the flower heads off leaving the stems until they die back. The building in the background behind the obelisk is the one we're going to convert into a granny annexe.
Okay, thanks, that rings a bell . They're on our patio and I had to hold the camera beneath the flowers.
I don't know what these are either, but we love them. Husband talks to them... "Morning, you are gorgeous!"
