I will match your brambles, couch grass and let-loose mint with an attentive robin, sweet winter box and a golden bossed camellia. Then, just in case you imagined there was still a chance of winning, I will raise you one day of wall to wall sunshine. I would fold if I were you.

If the gloves fit
A few months ago I made an official complaint about the availability of small sized gardening gloves. I feel a little bit silly typing that. Really? Is that all you have to worry about? Boo diddums! The fact that I can’t easily find working gloves that fit is not an earth shattering problem, quite theContinue reading “If the gloves fit”

Would it be Fosbury flop, Arabian flip or pole vault (using my garden fork as pole of course)? Perhaps I could pogo stick over, or even rustle aContinue reading “Barricade”
Snow!
Well that was a turn up for the books!
Crackers
There will be a procession of “firsts” in the next few weeks. This is what happens when you have a stop and then a start. Today was my first visit to The Mantle’s estate this year. It began with a beautiful drive on ice free roads, on arrival I was greeted with a steaming cupContinue reading “Crackers”
Six on Saturday – Aforethought
The weather forecast for today was dreadful; torrential rain, howling north easterlies, possibly frogs. So, as a dedicated disciple of Six on Saturday, and a most sensible and organised person, I took my photos yesterday. Today, so far, has been quite dry. This is not the point, which is that I was prepared for allContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Aforethought”
Marvellous
Even a little bit of sunshine is a marvellous thing.
