A welcome sign for me!

I love this tree as it has such beautiful form and shape  It sits in my neighbours garden – a thing of beauty in an otherwise dull and clinical space…. I can never do it justice in pics as I can’t seem to get the right focal distance or angle of view. But here it […]

I am a bit behind on my photos so will do catch up now – I quickly took my pictures this week as time just seemed to fly by, largely because of an ill husband and demanding little kids! Anyway, here is another photo where I am amazed at the resilience of my little plants, […]

A duvet day today – with husband still away, football cancelled and the (pre-snow) day so blinkin’ cold, it just seemed the right thing to do! The boys stayed in their pj’s all today, but Felix did put on his compression ‘trousers’, newly arrived from Great Ormand Street. Luckily he is very smitten with them, […]

I keep coming back to my Primrose that I planted last year – probably as I am amazed at their ongoing growth, despite my lack of nurturing. I have good intentions, but not good follow-up ability in matters to do with gardening!
