Snowdrops...

Local florists Petals visited the Garden recently to pick some of or snowdrops ...

Used to create this beautiful collar which has been accepted into Chelsea Flower Show to compete for the title of RHS Chelsea Florist of the Year.

 

During February...

Then, hearing of the News of "Noah's flood"

Absorbing all the water into mud

The sunset managed orange here today

The fleeing clouds obtained a duller grey

I listened to the forecast, afternoon;

Some sunshine and less wind are coming soon

You might say that the system is unsettled

Though Michael Fish, responding, would be nettled

So when will be the time for higher ground? - 

When sited on the beach with sea unbound.

A little Winter visitor to the toolshed...

Having found nothing to eat, our fat little friend fluttered off again.

One year on...

Same job...

Different hat...
