This poem is a homage to the resilience of guppies wherever they may live out their extraordinary lives.

I have just perused your delicious little offerings, just to my taste. It seems lots look at yours but try as I might few make marks or comments. So, in old age i am hidden in the silence of the unloved places of our etherial life. Passing through without comment or remark. So thanks.

This is an C18 English headband. This is the bottom one, the top has disintegrated. A striped cotton shirt with the colours in that order would replace it & look great. However I can’t find such a pattern. Saw this yesterday on someone’s back. Not the right order or colours or order… but…

This beautiful view of Boxhill from the Hillier garden centre coffee shop. Buzzard there and oh, what a joy to hear the repetitious song of thrush intermingling with that of the dulcet tones of both blackbird and the tropical cadences of the blackcap.

Garsons farm maize crop ploughed in and now attracting many hundreds of birds. At least 100 Canada geese, Egyptian geese with wood pigeons, stock doves, magpies, crows and jackdaws feeding on the fallen maize cobs. Amazing.

Butter and eggs, Lotus corniculatus and Taro Alocasia in my greenhouse in Kingston. Roots from Asian shops in our are planted in a water trough in my carp tank setup. This keeps the water clean for the fish, huge plants removing the nutrients for their growth.

A savage looking Bromeliad on the corner of Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park. Dykia spines will rip you to pieces, a species from Texas I believe. A very large one in the corner of the dry section of the Wisely glass house.

A bromeliad, norolegia species. Close ups for you, one of my favourite greenhouse plants. Hoya carnosa a south eastern aisian climber. Ferns are an important part of my plant collection too. A nice Helix from my garden as well on a hart’s tongue fern.

This is Nick Bagenals fruit book. Barbara Hyles a member of the Bloomsbury group was his wife. As a family we knew him well. A wonderful character of the Wye College horticultural Dept.

This is the hardy Puya spathacia from the highlands of Patagonia living in my Kingston garden suffering -7 frosts. 5 years on the back addition and doing well. There are a number of beautiful hardy species you can see in gardens in Devon and Cornwall.

These are interesting plants seen at Pembroke Lodge today. The spiky Bromeliad is i think Dykia a semi hardy species at the back corner of the new tropical bed. The other looks like an exotic figwort 3 plants have appeared in the dry garden beds after 5 years.

Chessington Garden Center. This is the water reclamation wetland more than 10 years old and now full of aquatics that have just arrived. Both reed warbler & reed bunting have bred there I believe. Kite, kestrel, buzzard to be seen there but not today. Chiff chaff and blackcap in the woodland strip.

Ashtead common, distant cuckoo heard today plus usual fare. A beautiful place but very cold and windy. This is the path by the farm, sadly no lapwings now. View out to the rough fields, can’t tell what is happening there. Is it a crop or not? Whatever it is very uneven on a thin dry soil.

Denbies Dorking today, house martins back around the eves of the southern gable. Not going to their nests yet. This is the only place I know where I can be guaranteed the sight & sounds of swallows & martins, the martins have been at the vineyard for a fortnight now. My annual pilgrimage. #denbies
