This unseasonably warm weather has caused the garden to be a profusion of flowers and unseasonable new growth, so that alongside more usual sights there are also fresh nasturtiums coming up, summer flowers still flowering and even supposedly spring flowers putting out fresh flowers.

Holly berries ripening, we shall be unlikely to have any left by Christmas for the Christmas pudding given the birds' appetites.

The roses by the pond, although they have flowered in mid-winter before, they have a natural enthusiasm.

  1. Hi there
    I saw your comment on hand knitted things and liked the name of your blog, so here I am! Today has been gloriously sunny and warm like yesterday, long May it last. I love that photo of your roses, beautiful xox Penny
