Despite the inclement* weather, the flowers in the Watermill’s walled garden have been a delight, particularly the Irisis in blues, mauves, purples, yellows and whites. But with nature’s inexorable turning, as the Irisis’ splendour declines,we are now waiting for the peonies to pop. Lois captured their prepubescent potential (!) yesterday. Soon she will record the blooms bursting into life. Watch this space!

*Inclement, a Victorian euphanism for bl**dy awful.
