Poinsettia
My poinsettia is looking good considering its completely neglected all year and is a couple of years old now

My poinsettia is looking good considering its completely neglected all year and is a couple of years old now

Hi folks, sorry for the silence. I’ve been keeping my socials updated more than my blog recently as it’s often easier to post pictures without thinking what to say to go along side them. I’ve also noticed the more words I write here the less views the posts get. Anyway, except for much leaf collecting still to be done the garden is pretty clear and ready for winter. I even noticed a Delphinium shooting up out of the ground – I’m guessing the weather has been confusing matters slightly. It’s been a pretty mild start to winter albeit rather wet at times.
I’ve decorated our artificial trees, this is my favourite one with more pretty decorations. The other is much smaller and has the old family favourites.
Thank for your support, views, likes and comments. I hope you have an enjoyable and peaceful Christmas and happy New Year. I endeavour to keep this updated more next year

Apologies once again for the lack of posts. Those who’ve followed me for a while will probably know by now that I don’t garden in the cold weather because as much as there’s always something to do it doesn’t really agree with me and I take far too long to warm up. I do really miss being outside in the winter but it’s also been so wet here that the flower beds are slightly under water! I’m hoping everything survives and doesn’t get washed away. It’s happened before. Anyway just dropping in really to thank my followers for following me and to wish you a happy peaceful Christmas. Here is my little tree, not real sadly! We have some real ones in pots in the garden in various states of decay


My gardening Christmas presents this year. A Christmas rose plant and new wooden wheelbarrow to plant to replaces my broken one. Daddy made it from a kit for me and painted it so I just need to get some plants and get it planted up


Wishing all my friends and followers a lovely peaceful, joyful Christmas and a better 2022! Thank you for your comments, likes and interactions with me this year. Xx

Just dropping in to wish my followers and friends a happy Christmas. Sorry this isn’t a real tree. We have two outside in pots but they are too heavy to bring in!
We’ve finally decorated our first tree, it’s artificial but I really like it! We also have a Christmas cactus in flower. Pictures below.
Wishing all my readers a lovely Christmas and happy new year. Thanks for following this year!


A quick blog to wish all my readers and followers a Merry Christmas.
As any regular readers know, I always try to include pictures of things currently flowering in my garden. Well its December and while a mild one at that, I have exhausted my supply of winter flowering plants for now. So, I have cheated slightly and have included our new indoor poinsettia, we kept last years plant but there are no red leaves on it so have bought a new one.

Also some shop bought flowers which smell amazing

And lastly our first decorated Christmas tree which is artificial but looks pretty real. We do have a real one as well and its currently waiting patiently outside to be allowed in!

So Merry Christmas to you all, I pray its a peaceful and stress-free one! I will likely not post again now til next year! xx
