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#82 – Crocuses

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.
