Are you a fan of dried flowers?

Here’s my sweet dog, Dottie! She’s a Bedlington terrier and already 12!
She can’t wait for spring either!?
Do you have any pets?

Good morning
Off for a haircut this morning
Do you like hellebores? They start to flower early in our garden. Here’s pics taken on Monday. A number of others already flowering too. Enjoy your Thursday! 🌱

Who says you need flowers to add colour to a bed in winter. If you have the space, Dogwoods can have a huge dramatic effect on a garden in winter.

It’s all about the winter bulbs here! Really enjoying planting them into lovely pots and having flowers indoors!

The Christmas mantle is done! Took a while but I’m loving the dried hydrangea annabelles in this one! I used a mix of fresh and dried foliage and flowers.

Not too well this weekend with long Covid symptoms returned. I thought they’d gone forever but a return to pacing for me!
