Petit English Garden of MARPLE & POIROT

My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc. In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.

庭の紹介

　夫婦で庭づくりを福岡の郊外で2003年に始めました.　赤土むきだしの斜面にまず階段や園路をつくって芝をはり、果樹やバラ、ハーブなどを植えました.

　2010年にイギリスの有名なガーデンの、シシングハースト、モティスフォントアビー、ヒドコートマナーなどを回り、その素晴らしさに圧倒され、それから自分たちで小さくても素晴らしい庭をめざして庭づくりをつづけています.

FIREWORKS

Yesterday evening, a summer festival was held at the beach one mile from our cottage.
Fireworks started at 8 o'clock. I hurried home and walked up to the top of the hill and saw the 60 minutes fireworks with my wife.

Sunset at 19:30

The sky is a little bit bright at 20:00

It looks like a kind of plants(?)

A very small Mt Fuji at right bottom.

Double spheres of white and pink color.

This looks like the Saturn.

There were so many red hearts in the sky.

A quite unique firework

The final fireworks at 20:55

Though it took three to four seconds for us to hear the sounds after looking the firework, we really enjoy them. It was boiling during daytime, but after sunset a gentle breeze was comfortable and the sky was so clear.
