Formal Gardens To Dream Of

Hedges, topiary, cherubs,

limestone, stone tables, wrought iron chairs,

whites, reds and lots of green

This garden has it all

It ticks all the boxes

For a truly magnificent formal garden

In a regular suburban back yard

Although this is now

never going to be regular ever again

Due to the stunning colours and shapes

That are just waiting to greet you

all year round

Perhaps for a spot of tea

or to read a book

Or bbq's at sunset

lingering into a twinkling evening

Or fine dining on the upstairs balcony

overlooking the beautiful, serene garden

and onwards as the sun sets

over the magnificent Swan River

Or perhaps you're like me

and would love to enjoy a cool swim

on one of Perth's hot days

which are just beginning.

This is one of my most favourite gardens ever

And I love just to stand or sit in it

Every time I visit

because it always leaves me feeling

at peace with the world

I'm just very grateful that Marjon and Gerard

(the proud owners)

are two of my very special friends

and they love to share this magnificent garden

so graciously with people who want to enjoy its magic.

A million thankyous to Marjon and Gerard

for letting me share its beauty and joy

and also now with our amazing blogworld.

Dear blogging friends,

I hope you too can enjoy this slice of heaven!
