Hello, and welcome to my website ~ here you will get a view on my books and life as a published author. It’s been a long journey to getting here ~ finally I am now writing full time and hope you enjoy what you find here. If you want to get in touch, follow the links, and I’ll get back to you soon.

Susan Jones writes romantic drama with a touch of humour, and historical sagas as Lydia King. She lives in North Warwickshire, and loves walking through the beautiful woodlands where she lives, and gardening and reading are her pastimes.

Around the garden in June

Hello to all my followers, and hope all is well in your worlds. The garden is looking colourful at the moment, so thought I’d pop out and take some pics for you to enjoy.

I always thought the red valarian was sea pink, until I looked it up just now. I’ve done some pink geranium hanging baskets, with lovely green moss. They need to grow on a bit yet though, so I’ll post a pic when they’re lovely and lush. Normally I put lots of bits and pieces in, but I wanted only the geranium this time.

    Oops! Touch~screen error!
    Until now I’ve quite a variety of greens in all my planting areas ~ but with a little sunshine this week, the more colourful flowers are coming out. The fruit and veg are growing ~ but ever so slowly because of the whacky weather we’ve been having this year!
    Sounds like your new writing space is working well for you, Susan, I haven’t done any serious writing for a long time ~ I’ll follow your link and maybe that’ll inspire me! 🙂

    The colour scheme in my own garden is pink and purple – great taste, Susan! Your garden looks lovely.

      Thanks, Bea, glad you enjyed the tour. It’s a rambling sort of butterfly and bee friendly garden and quite low maintenance as I like to sit and read whenever I can.

      Thanks, Sue, it’s relaxing to watch the bees going inside all the trumpets of the foxgloves.

        Ooh foxgloves. We had those in our garden when I was a child. My dad must have been so fed up because me and my friends used to take the ‘goves’ and put them on the ends of our fingers! Nothing more relaxing than bees buzzing around is there – as long as they don’t come too near you!! xx

        That’s true, Sue. They seem too busy in and out of the flowers in our garden to come near us. I want to plalnt more bee friendly flowers like pinks and lavenders as well.

      Thanks, Linda. Yes, I’ve only got 2 more chapters, and then I’m ready for a last read through, and final edit, and watch out publishers, agents, and everybody else:)

    And another thanks from me for the garden tour. I can barely see ours this morning because of thick mist. I so wanted to get out and do some gardening this weekend. Never mind, I had a sunny tour of yours instead.

      Glad you enjoyed the tour, Lynne. Good job I took pictures when I did, there’s been a downpour since then. Enjoyed your column in W.M this month. xx
