This is definitely my favourite season of the year although I would like it a bit warmer. I hate the cold but also miss being outside in the winter so once the garden starts to come alive again I’m always so pleased. There’s lots in flower at the moment and I’ve just discovered the geraniums I thought I’d lost over winter do seem to be alive.
Slowly I think but the bulbs are starting to come up and I’m noticing already what’s missing. That’ll be most of my snowdrops, probably washed away in extreme rain we’ve had lately. Anyway just a couple of pictures of what is flowering at the moment – lots of crocus and one lonely clump of snowdrops
We’ve woken to snow for the 3rd day running which is unusual here really. It’s quite pretty and is still coming down but I hate driving in it or in fact even going outside. Young Wendy would be singing ‘so do you want to build a snowman’ by now. Older scared Wendy says no thanks, let me know when it’s gone!
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
I had a lovely afternoon at the Tatton flower show this afternoon with my friend. The last time it’ll be in this location until 2027! I only bought one plant as I didn’t really want to carry much – a hardy Salvia. I took lots of pictures and here’s some of them.
