Today’s picture is of a single poppy, amongst a field of oats. It’s OK to be different amongst the crowds, to be an individual, although sometimes it can be daunting. Be strong, be yourself.

July 2nd – Wild Orchid
Today’s image was taken near Priddy, on the Mendips. Whilst out with the dogs we came across this lovely plant. It is great to have wild spaces still available for plant life to survive. Let’s all hope future generations will be able to report the same

June 23rd – Memories of people passed
Whilst cutting the lawn in the front my eye caught our lovely fuchsias. The detail on the flower heads always amazes me, especially in the sunshine and always makes me think of the late Mother-in-law. She loved her garden and a lot of the fuchsias come from cuttings of her plants from North Devon. WheneverContinue reading “June 23rd – Memories of people passed”

Our fig tree is doing rather well. It was in the garden when we moved (16 years ago), and seems pretty happy where it is situated in a quiet, sheltered area by our summerhouse.
