Images of a sunny summer starring Lemore Manor and David (giving the doorway arch a good soaking.) Blue sky and sunshine as far as the eye can see, another perfect summer day here.  Mum used to quote ‘Happy the Bride the suns shines on’ meaning a sunny day heralds years of joy to follow, it […]

It’s a bright spring day today but falls after a long, cold, wet spell. It would be easy to feel that spring is taking its time this year as it’s been too soggy underfoot to do much in the garden and notice all the buds but today after conditioning today’s  flowers I took the camera […]

Christmas greetings to all our friends, Brides, customers and suppliers. Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Jane & David – Long Barn Flowers

Well, we are very late with this blog, things have been steadily busy over the summer and all the other things that life can throw happened too.  Some challenges with our home, a water leak through a ceiling and rising damp in the oldest part of the house. Joy unconfined and dust everywhere. We are […]

It’s bright and blustery, a glorious day, with blossom petals blowing like confetti across the garden as I […]

Brrrrrrrr….it’s chilly and we have a flurry of snow falling, let’s see if it settles. The skis have been put away after a brilliant holiday but the sledge is ready.  After two weeks of sunshine, cloudless blue skies, and powdery soft dry snow in Austria this is all a bit different but it is snow […]

How quickly the holidays flew by, was it the same for you?  We saw the New Year in here at our new home and while we’re still unpacking and sorting things it was a happy time.  Now the holidays are officially over it’s time to do the final plans for some of the spring weddings […]

Christmas greetings to all of our friends, customers and suppliers. Wishing you all health, happiness and success in 2017.

It’s November and after a busy summer we are just winding back a little and enjoying the autumn colour. Reds, russets and golds in the garden and the last red apples on our trees all add to the rich colours, just before the winds blow the leaves away completely! During the summer we were packing […]

Rain, and more rain, the early summer was great for the garden, horrid for Brides and tricky for Bees. But since then we’ve had some glorious sunny and even hot days with acres of blue cloudless sky, just perfect. Long summer days mean balmy evenings for outdoor dancing, which Hannah and Leigh enjoyed after their […]
