Mix some Moss roses with it and you will soon have a rose-hedge so thick and romantic that all the nightingales of the neighbouring woods will come to press their breasts in song against the thorns. #gardening

We all know how powerful reading can be. But in the context of kinship care families, where relatives or friends care for a child because their parents aren’t able to, the benefits of reading are even more profound.

Perfect rainy day activity if you ask us

I was a Saturday girl at Boots in the early 70s & wore a white overall working on the chemist department-happy days when life was more simple.

But we could still afford modestly to set our own wild cherry in a chosen place at the eastern or the western corner of the garden: I say eastern or western because the reddening leaves would then catch either the morning or the evening light, sunrise or sunset. #gardening

Among our native trees, the wild cherry or Gean is one of the first to turn. (I should perhaps qualify the word ‘native’ by saying that it may possibly have been introduced by the Romans). #gardening

A necklace commission I made for a US customer who adores thistles: it started with a Victorian silver thistle flower charm, I made a recycled silver flower bud & thistle leaf,added a facetted peridot & fluorite (I think the natural stripes echo tartan just a little)& a clover-shaped charm holder☘️ :

There is no need to emphasize the loveliness of the wild cherry in the spring, its great puffs of white appearing like the smoke of a train inexplicably stationary in the middle of bare woods. #gardening
