The snowdrops have been stunning this year
Little Pixi cat toasting her tummy infront of the stove !
The first of our iris's up with hundreds more to follow
We have two foxes that visit, often burying eggs in our garden. We found this one in a planter in the front garden last week. The following night it came back and took it and then the following night a new egg (this time a brown shelled one) was buried. We have now set up a bit of a feeding tray for them with a camera on it but they have yet to find it. They are very well fed foxes with the eggs being left out by a neighbour at the back and we have been told that a lady across the road buys them chicken !
Simon grows many spring flowers in the greenhouse, bringing them in when they flower. Just love the spring colours, a very welcome sight after the winter's greyness
Paper White narcissi, absolutely beautiful and so fragrant. Lots more in the greenhouse, just coming into bud. They will be brought in soon x
A few amaryllis bulbs and this is the first to flower...flipping heck it's gorgeous !
Collected a load of willow withies over the weekend. Now all made into rings to make next year's wreaths. They will hang in the shed but a job well done on a rainy afternoon.....and we have had plenty of those !
Our local Bee Orchids are well and truly up this year. Hundreds of rosettes in the grass verge, more than we usually see due to the wet conditions. Orchids that our council (North Lincs) know about and yet when I tell them not to cut and they promise not to, three days later they are cut to the ground. Three years running they have done that. Fingers crossed for this year. I have told our MP about them and he has notified everyone on the council.........I will keep you posted !
