Merry Christmas!

 I haven't managed to post for some time, for a variety of reasons, and the last few months have been particularly fraught, and also particularly noisy, as our neighbour has been building a huge extension.  I'm hoping for some peace over Christmas, and also to be able to start blogging again in the new year!

To anyone reading this, best wishes to you for a merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.

The Garden In Winter

Here's a photo of the garden looking very Christmas-y a couple of weeks ago, when we were snowed in - R couldn't get the car out of the drive. I think it's the first time since we moved here that snow has settled, and it was quite deep - at least for the south of England!



Best wishes for Christmas to anyone reading this: I'm sorry I don't feel able to do my usual round of visiting other blogs and wishing people a happy Christmas this year, for reasons I've explained here.

I hope to have a bit more time to do some blogging - and some gardening - in 2018.

The Holly Bears A Berry ...

I'm hoping that, time and brain fog allowing, I'll be able to resume blogging in the new year ...
