Introducing Rowan 💙. Our little tree of life and the very best Christmas present we could possibly ask for. Arlo has been exceptionally cute with his ‘baby brother’ and even Dylan seems to have accepted him this time. We’re going to soak up this magical bubble over here and will see you soon. Be good, Instagram ✨

Well that’s a wrap 🥳. 40 weeks pregnant and all* of the spring bulbs in. Just another couple of hundred daffodils planted yesterday because I picked up a massive bag which was reduced and thought it seemed like a good idea 🤪. I have never ever been so organised - some people nest indoors, I’ve managed to nest outdoors this time 😂. But whenever winter feels long the excitement of spring bulbs really does get me through. That anticipation. It’s probably my favourite time in the garden. I ran out of space in the cut flower bed and started shoving daffodils in trenches all over the place - could look spectacular or extremely random 🤷🏼‍♀️. Anyway, will pop an allotment update on soon. Hope Wednesday is good ☺️💕. *And not quite all because I found a small bag of crocus last night which I’d missed but which I’m ignoring so as not to ruin my efforts that in my head I’d planted them all by December 😉 #allotment #cutflowergarden

It’s hard to believe this was only a couple of weeks ago. We spent most of November in jumpers over here - hanging on to the end of autumn. The hens out enjoying the end of the messy, wild borders before bulbs were finally planted, and now they’re tucked up tight ahead of another winter with Avian Flu 🙄. We haven’t had snow this weekend but the weather has most definitely turned ❄️. And so to embrace and enjoy another season. Even Santa won’t convince me it’s the most magical one - spring takes some beating in my eyes, but then again a certain somebody might persuade me otherwise this year 😉. And dare I say it, I am feeling rather festive…

Pot stand swap around for winter 🪴. I thought the little pots would be high maintenance but actually they’ve not been too bad. And they’re especially worth it for the extra smiles when looking out of the window in the colder weather. 🍂 I’ve changed them around through all seasons now and I think the current pop of colour followed by the crocus, dwarf iris and muscari might well be my favourite…
