Flower of the Day – 22nd February, 2023
“The many varieties and wonderful colors of the modern dahlia make it a totally different flower from the one our grandmothers knew. … My father loved his dahlias, and I do too. And can remember as a child, them being the home of many an earwig. And as my school socks were on the radiator…

Flower of the Day – 26th January 2023
I can honestly say, restricting my blogging down to 3 days a week has really helped with my arthritis in my hands. And I’ve got some of the jobs I want to do finally finished. Every January I have a multi clear-out. You know the type, cupboards, drawers, wardrobe and whatever else I find that…

Free Print Template – 12 squares with Identity Plate
Taking inspiration from Becky and her Square challenges, I thought I would create a Lightroom Classic Print Template where you can display 12 squares plus an identity plate where you can change the text or add a logo. Whilst processing this image, an idea came to me for the future… hopefully in the New Year…

Pom Pom Dahlias
Well today it’s back to the DIY for us… finishing off that dreaded leak that happened in our cloakroom. So far so good, the leak has dried out and it seems fixed. So, posting this weekend, will be hit or miss… just Flower of the Day for the time being. It has turned cold here……

Nymans Revisited
Today the weather allowed us to go back to Nymans in West Sussex. It is just over 50 miles from and easy to get to. Mostly the drive is motorway driving. Even though it wasn’t supposed to rain, the clouds loomed, and was quite dismal. I will say this now…in a few of the images…

My Favourite Flowers
This week Ann-Christine in her Lens-Artists challenge, has set the topic as favourite flowers. Well, as I love photographing flowers I am in my element. However, I have to say, when it comes to gardening and growing flowers… I’m a complete failure… I am not green-fingered at all. Roses Roses, roses, and roses, I can…

Pom-Pom Dahlia and Pokers
It is funny how you can be somewhere, especially in a formal garden, and remember childhood days. I was 10 when we moved into our new home. And I can vividly remember my dad saying this soil is no-good and it needs improving. Having worked as a child on a farm, he decided to plant…
