Beautiful Rhiannon. The description of young lambs is dancing with their knobbly knees is perfect and spring wouldn't be spring without daffodils. They look so natural growing in the field in your photos, in contrast to my local council which...

Wonderful tribute to a

Posted on Fri, 22 Mar 2019

Wonderful tribute to a prickly beauty. Bee-full I love. One of the best smells I've ever experienced was on a coastal path in Pembrokeshire in May, the sun was out and the gorse scented the air, to me it was not unlike Pina Colada. Generally the...

Posted on Sun, 17 Mar 2019

It's a fail of a tale we teach our kids. Bad deeds will be punished, if not in life then in hell, look around it's easy to tell, the few reap what the many broke their backs to sow with next to nothing there to show.

This is beautiful Jenny.

Posted on Sun, 03 Mar 2019

This is beautiful Jenny. There is a sense of nature being effortless yet it always trumps human creations. I love the idea of it all being at your back door, I'm the same, I really appreciate my little garden and as one thing fades there is...
