As you can see in the photo our Pepper tree is dieing , so we have just planted next to it a Magnola Grandiflora . It is evergreen and has large perfumed white flowers. They originate in the swamplands of southern USA. But we hope it will like it’s new home at the Olde Mill House B&B & cycle hire in Renwick Marlborough New Zealand.

Winter or Spring
Well I’m not sure what the official stance is but my garden is definitely showing signs of spring. We have our Apricot tree out in full blossom and all my roses are starting to shoot I hope that we dont get a late frost in the next wee spell or I wont have any Apricots in summer.
Winter Chores
Well I did tell you that we were doing some alterations to our King room. Well all finished now and we hope that you enjoy staying in the room as much as we did, doing it up. New paint, curtains, french doors and decking … come stay with us and see what you think.
Grandson’s Visit
During the July School Holidays my twin grandsons from Auckland came to stay. Among the activities that we did were toboganing at Rainbow, Go Karting and fishing, and there was plenty of fish for tea for a couple of nights. Also Hadley built me a stool for on the verandah. It is definitely a leaning stool. Thanks Hadley.
