I love the scent of the flowers in the depths of winter. I saw a tree at Aberglasney Gardens in February and the scent filled the air around each little flower.

Pouring with rain since last night here. Plants will enjoy yet another day of rain. Everything is liking the warmth and steady supply of rainwater.

I'm with you in that one, but the noise of the rain woke me up. Hey ho, think how much we can get done before our days are interrupted by others!

Slow living skills. Preserving, growing much of our own food, sewing and make do and mend.
I started making this quilt a year ago and do a little at a time.
The fabrics are vintage Laura Ashley materials that I've collected over the years. #slowliving #patchwork

Rosa 'White Pet' from Peter Beales roses. I love the shape and colour of these plants and have them close to a rambler Rosa 'Félicité et Perpétue'. They go very well together, which is unsurprising because the former is a sport of the latter. #roseWednesday #roses #whiteroses #gardening

On a school exchange in France, the host family took me to see One Flew Over A Cuckoo's Nest. No subtitles and my school level French was not good enough to keep up. It was years before I watched it in English, I didn't want to ruin the story I'd made up in my teenage head!

I read that as 'ostrich-ised' which sounds like a splendid idea. I'd be happy to be ostrichised! (If it's not a real word, can we make it one?)

These snapdragon flowers made a positive impact at Gardeners World Live this week. Loud and proud in a velvety strong cerise red, I just love them! #gardening #GWL25

I can't wait to see this beauty fully open. Peonies are such fabulous flowers. I just hope all this rain doesn't ruin it before I get to peer into all those petals.

Clear blue skies here in West Wales and already blissfully warm. I'm pottering in the semi-shaded back garden today, creating another new bed to fill with white and cream flowers.

I love this garden in May. Flowers start blooming and birds whizz around. At the weekend I was at RHS Malvern. Then Niall McCauley came to stay for a couple of days. We visited Aberglasney Gardens and pottered in my veg garden. He kindly also took a few photos. #gardening

A friend sent me this photo of a tree peony in her garden. I think it's probably 'Ezra Pound' and it's stunning!

Close up of Tellima grandiflora, more commonly known as Fringecups. I spotted these today on a walk near to a friend's home. The little flowers look so delicate. It's a herbaceous perennial and looks great growing in a large clump.

One of several harvests of rhubarb already this year. I grow three varieties of rhubarb, Timperley Early (pictured), Victoria and Champagne. I use sweet cicely herb to sweeten the rhubarb as it cooks. Pick rhubarb until the end of July. Freezes well and makes great wine. #gardening #homegrownfood

World Earth Day 2025, theme Our Power, Our Planet. I thought today I’d look back at a video I created a year or so ago. It celebrates the power of community energy, to build communities and to put power back into the hands of the local community.
