Petworth Park







 


Petal and Clara talked me into a quick walk in Petworth Park

I didn't take much persuading...  I took the camera

a tale of two weddings.....














Zantedeschia Captain Safari, Hypericum A Wild Romance, Dendrobium James Story.

Looking forward to our walk in the park tomorrow - hope the sun will be out.  I need to catch up with The Archers on Radio 4 and pop the hock of bacon into the slow cooker.

Whatever your weekend, I hope it will be a relaxed one.

it was just a walk in the park










The last two mornings have been perfect for the long walk to work - I say long, it usually takes about half an hour, but if we meet Percy it can take quite a bit longer.  Percy is the dashing hound with the stick, Petal loves Percy very much.  There is a lot of flirting and chasing and eating things that really should not be eaten.  Whilst the hounds play I can snap away with my little Nikon at the mist rising over the lake or the downs.

Not a bad commute to work.

A Petworth Wedding




Scented lilies, stocks and hydrangeas with bundles of corn make the perfect entrance to St Mary's Church in Petworth.
Today we are doing a lovely wedding in town.  With lots of people popping in and out to ask what we are doing, where do the flowers come from and how much would one like that cost.



With Gog and Maygog either side of the door, the main entrance to the church was festooned with more flowers and the scent from the flowers was just heavenly.






 




white roses, bouvardia, freesias and hyacinth pips





The reception is being held at Bartholomew Barn more scented white roses with myrtle and hebe, I'm sure there will be lots of champagne and laughter and fun to be had by all.

Tomorrow is a day of rest for the Spriggs Team.  Clara will be back to her country residence so Matthew will be walking in the park and then chilling by the fire - they are not forcasting a very nice day on Sunday.  Petal will need a bath as no doubt she will find something smellie to roll in and I will be roasting a belly of pork.

Whatever you do this weekend - have a lovely one.
