We understand that this time of year can be both full of fun and sadness ❤️
One thing for sure is that a walk in one of the Royal Parks can help with our mental health 🌳

Cowslip (Primula veris) in our garden in East Lothian today. This plant has been in flower for at least five weeks. Nice to have its yellow flowers brightening up the lawn (albeit a very tiny part of the lawn) at this time of year.

Last job of the year is to do some wisteria pruning and training. Not fun to do when it’s this cold, but it’ll definitely mean it won’t bleed any sap.

You can’t see all of the tree but I promise it does have a thick trunk. It is one of the oaks on the green around the corner from my house in my village.
