June in the garden and at school

So the heatwave continues here in the UK.
Blazing June came and sadly now has left. But she left the sunshine here for us to enjoy. 

In the words of Elvis Costello....its been a good year for the roses.

I went on a CPD workshop called Natural textiles and Dyes at Hollingworth Lake one afternoon.....a luxury afternoon off work. 

Natural dyes, black currants and Onion skins

weaving

felt making

Hapa Zome

 I was very pleased with the finished pieces!

 I had a different view driving home that day.

 We had sports day at school.....

back to our garden.....we have worked so hard on it this spring and summer and it still needs lots doing but it has rewarded us with some beautiful flowers this summer.

We have been lucky to have some meals outside too.

School is on the wind down for summer...

I will be back with more from June in a little while.
