We have an old wheelbarrow with a broken wheel. It was no good to anyone so we were thinking it needed to go to the tip. But Bruce had a bright idea to turn it into something beautiful… So Bruce drilled some holes, me and my daughter did some shopping, and between us we made…… Continue reading Blooming Wheelbarrow

Summer Sunday Stroll
Yesterday was warm and quite sunny so we headed out for a short walk around the village. Before leaving I noticed that our Buddleia flowers are just starting to come out: There were quite a few Birds Foot Trefoils growing in the grassy areas There are also other similar but taller flowers which I’ve identified…… Continue reading Summer Sunday Stroll
Catkins
A photo from the hedgerow during our walk yesterday. It has quite a wintry look to it, which is appropriate considering it has gone colder. Brrr

Hopefully next weekend I’ll have more energy and get out more if the weather is nice again. There are quite a few yellow flowers coming out at…… Continue reading Yellow
Snowdrops
We found a lovely patch of snowdrops. None of these photos are particularly well focused as it was pretty tough getting low enough to the ground without getting covered in mud, but I still like them anyway. It kind of works with a soft focus I think.
Garden Reflections
Now the weather has warmed up a bit, we’re back to droplet photos between the rain showers. I like the reflections of the garden and house I got in these shots
