Despite being well into his 80’s, my green-fingered granddad has continued to maintain his beautiful garden year after year. I have fond memories of leading him around, he with a penknife in hand, carefully selecting the flowers that I wanted to take home. The dahlias in particular are his pride and joy and have won countless prizes at flower shows.
I have been meaning to take photos here for the longest time, and finally got the chance to capture the garden in full bloom yesterday before Ian and I headed out for the evening. It’s not a particularly exciting outfit, but I think the flowers more than make up for that!
I love your Topshop shoes, and the garden is absolutely beautiful!
what a gorgeous garden!
Gorgeous!! I’m over the moon about gardens – all year round!
Beautiful photos!

The photography is so dreamy and the flowers themselves stunning. The outfit is a perfect juxtaposition to the garden, as well. Love!

very beautiful. i know, i’ve said this many times but i have too say it: i love your hair! :D
Oh how I wish I will get the chance to grow old, enjoy the happines of long days, reading books, having a garden, grandchildren coming to visit. It makes me so sad that not everyone gets the chance to grow old. But as for now, I’m sure enjoying the hectic days of my life as a young adult and a student in the capitol of Norway :)
LOVE these photos! and love those shoes!
These photos make me think of my grandfather, who tended a gorgeous vegetable garden for most of his life. Your granddad’s garden is exquisite–those dahlias look unreal!–and it’s wonderful that you were able to take a few photos there.
Oh my. This is just breath-taking! Such lovely photos and my what a garden!
great pictures! so serene and beautiful.
i wish you all the nice things in this autumn!
although I’ve been a regular for years, I hadn’t checked out your blog in a while. as always, it’s such a breeze!
I have a very similar pair of black suede mary-janes from topshop, but yours seems to have some more “feet clevage” from the side, and much more “walkable on” due to somewhat lover heel lenght.
What a beautiful post! I love Dahlias and you look stunning. I hope you had a nice evening x
Hannah this is SO beautiful and so are you. I am not surprised your Grandad has won prizes for his Dahlias they are magnificant! I have been obsessing over the ones we have at work, their colours and structures are just so wonderful and I love that they bring so much colour to this time of year. xxx
Cute look and beautiful pictures! :)
