Rosemary russet apple blossoming well amongst the tulips at the allotment today.

The soil is still quite wet and heavy but things are looking up. Huge thank you to my allotment neighbour who strimmed the paths for me.

Yellow frills at the centre of white petals - I think it may be a narcissus/daffodil called ‘Ice Follies' flowering in a tub by my front door. I’ve just read that they naturalise well so I’ll be planting out for next year.

At last — a sunny morning. Enjoyed sharing my love of Dartington’s history and the beautiful gardens with a group from a local U3A this morning

Prepare to be captivated from start to finish. With enchanting prose and unforgettable characters, this book is pure magic. Dive in and lose yourself in its spellbinding story.

A riot of tulips, forget-me-nots and primroses in my Devon garden . We’re going for an informal look this spring ! The ground is still too soggy for much gardening.

Exciting discovery at Devon historic landmark devonlive.com/news/devon-new…

Can’t remember the name of this spring flowering clematis. I love it, growing on the garage wall, but how do I keep it out of the guttering?

A rather grand #AdoorableThursday from Exmouth, #Devon , part of the renovations of G H Fellowes Prynne to the early C19th church in 1905, something Pevsner said was 'regrettable', but I personally rather like! A fine doorway whatever you think, though.
