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…

Floral Friday – FF#83 – Rosebuds

Allum flower – Flower of the Day
Not far from us in Harlip, it the agricultural college. Within the grounds of the garden centre is Broadview Gardens, located at the back of the garden centre and those gardens are spectacular.

Flower of the Day – 17th January 2023
Oh Boy!! Was it cold today on the station run! It was -5°C when I got into the car and left and stayed that exact temperature all the way there and back. I don’t mind frosty mornings but -5°C is beyond a joke… To me that is stay in bed weather until the temperature gets…

Floral Friday – FF#82 – Crocuses
One thing I love about spring is that spring is the start of the flowering season. Yes, there are shrubs that bloom in winter. However, when you start to see spring flowers, you know that the weather is hopefully getting warmer, and the sun is going to shine longer. Crocuses, you just can’t beat a…

Flower of the Day – 12th January 2023 – Rhododendron
I just can’t believe that this photograph was taken nearly 8 years ago at Doddington Place near Sittingbourne in Kent. I love rhododendron flowers, but there is something about them, maybe it’s their variety of colours, or could it be how big the bush/shrub has grown. To be honest, I not sure. However, one thing…

Eleven days in and it still feels strange typing 2023… I don’t know about you but the number of times I’ve had to had to correct dates so far this month, is astounding. It’s just like when you get married and change your name… that takes a fair bit of time to be able to…

Floral Friday – FF#81 – Cornflower
Back in 2020 finally when they lifted lockdown, we visited Rosemoor gardens in Devon. And it was whilst driving around these beautiful gardens on a mobility scooter – oh boy was that fun, calamity strikes again – that I spotted this beautiful silky blue cornflower. Believe me trying to turn around one of those huge…

Playing with Texture
Sometimes, playing around can be real fun. And one of the things I love to play around with is texture. Texture is everywhere! In bricks, trees, flowers, everything that surrounds us has a texture to it. Fine Arts ~ . the characteristic visual and tactile quality of the surface of a work of art resulting…
