Shining Rubies

Another fantastic day of sunshine here in Alton! We've been soaking up the rays again in our garden at The Malthouse. At this rate we're are going to look like we've been on holiday ourselves - no chance until the winter!

Here is one of the latest additions to our garden, a lovely clematis called "Ruby Wedding". It was Owen & Sandra's 40th Wedding Anniversary in May this year so we couldn't resist buying this plant. The beautiful weather we've been enjoying at our b&b has brought out some fantastic flowers.



The clematis is in a lovely spot at the front of the house, nice and shady in the morning but by the afternoon very warm. It must be suiting "Ruby" as there are lots more buds getting ready to open into flowers.

Hope your enjoying nice weather wherever you are!
