Freshly gathered for us - a new supply of spider deterrents. We hope.

Hi WaltersRural our greetings and best wishes to you.

Just down the road from us the wonderful #HarleyGallery - and its a great place for finding some interesting presents too.

In the garden 7 December, and oh so welcome.

It might be cold, wet and windy, but spring is on the way

In our garden this week our very welcome and beautiful sunshine yellow #witchhazel.

Small and white, elegant and graceful clumps of snowdrops in flower in our garden this week.

In our garden at the moment. Love the way this beautiful green hellebore is sporting its pretty little hat of frost and ice.

We were enchanted by this pretty Easter display which we found in the conservatory at #ClumberPark, #NT, just four miles from us.

We get so cross with the wind for tossing the petals from our beautiful magnolia tree onto the ground.

Looks like we've become a bachelor pad for Mallards! And no doubt they will want breakfast too tomorrow.

Where, we wonder, will Shakespeare's Ariel lie now that the cowslips are over for another year?

Spike, our resident hedgehog, doing his nightly rounds and making sure that all is well.

Mr and Mrs Quack coming over to check out our beautiful Witch Hazel,

Looks as if a storm is brewing - not the best of days to go out for a walk.

Greeted by a glorious parade of hyacinth Clumber Park, National Trust
