I'm a multitasker, gardener, bossy boots & think I know everything. I sing with @NewEghamSingers. Views are mine, happy to share.
Apparently, I'm not as thin as I think I am.

DMs are off, so please don't waste your time following me if that's your aim.

This is one hour before Squiggle's tea time, staring constantly. Plotting to eat me?

A leftover piece of oak sleeper from our newly terraced front garden is now a one of a kind bee hotel. Hubby drilled the holes while I creatively directed 😃

A gorgeous hibiscus. I bought this as a struggling stick from Woolworth's 28 years ago. It delivers flower after flower for weeks on a shrub 150cm in diameter

Loved my beautiful front garden rockery but it was increasingly difficult to maintain without pulling muscles to reach top of the slope. (Or tipping over by reaching down). So I've had it terraced & original alpine plants & rocks returned. Can't wait for it to fill out. #rockery #garden #redesign
Sloping rockery full of multicoloured alpine plants Two new terraced sleeper beds replaced the slope. Awaiting planting Side view of the terraced beds, now planted, rocks replaced and top dressed with shingle. Central tree is a corkscrew hazel. Front view of two terraced beds replanted with alpines and small shrubs and dressed with rocks and shingle. In the centre is 25 year old corkscrew hazel

@thebeeguy.bsky.social Hello, I really enjoy seeing your posts about bees, which I love and encourage in my garden. Are you able to tell me what this bee is? It's very aggressive towards the bee fly.

Spring is the best time to visit Valley Gardens in Windsor Great Park. Magnolias, camellias, daffodils, and blossom surrounded by beautiful woodland.
