The son came out and lit up G's Green Tear, Bitter Lemons and Veronica Cross. A top flight selection of snowdrops.

If, however, you want to give something rather less obvious, why not compose a miniature garden in an Alpine pan? #gardening

Day 4 of my Advent Calendar. It has been quite a birdy year, including a trip to Staffa to fulfil a long-held ambition to see puffins. Flittering onto the cliff edge in front of us they strolled about with their hands clasped behind their backs, saying “maaaaawww” and looking wistfully out to sea.
