Today is the last day of National Gardening Week, in honour of which I found this old photo of my great-grandmother Edith and her mother Penelope in what looks to have been an absolutely glorious garden, picture taken approximately 100 years ago c. 1920.

Topically enough to today’s climate, they are social distancing impeccably.

Edith had 11 children between 1914 and 1932, so I suspect in this picture she is making the most of a visit to her mum to get away from the kids for a little while. Meanwhile, I am jealous of Penelope's garden and only wish I could get mine to look like that!

It does look like a gorgeous garden!

The days of large families. My late mother came from one too.

Uncles, Aunts, Cousins.

That garden would be great for your cats.

What an amazing garden, and how lovely to have this family history.
