A splash of colour!

What an amazing weekend of glorious weather!

I just had to share the splash of colour in my garden at the moment.

Above is the Clivia with the view of Roundton behind it.

Next are the anemones - another gorgeous colour that makes the heart sing!

This is what Mum used to call Japonica but really it is Chaenomeles.

And lastly the vivid yellow Mahonia.

I love this time of year - don't you?!!

Oh and by the way - I saw a pair of swallows on a wire as I was ambling around the car boot sale today!



All things bright and beautiful!

I thought I would start the year with two things that made me smile this morning.

A crisp and frosty morning viewed from the warmth of my kitchen .

We have had snow on the hills but none down here where we are - just below the snow line!!

Only a few miles away, a few have been snowed in by drifted snow and some back lanes have had little salt and not seen a snow plough.

The flower is a most gorgeous Clivia - a bit like an Amaryllis. I have never had one before. This one was a gift from my next door neighbour and its really beautiful.

So - Happy New Year to all - thank you for reading my little blog and making such lovely comments.

Maybe I should start each blog with two things that made me smile - mmm now there's an idea!
