Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
To mark my return from my social media break I bring daffodils and a pair of Easter bunnies for all you lovely people in my phone. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy

There is sunshine. The river is more like a lake but there is sunshine! #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy

It’s the last day of May and the last of my #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy for a bit, as I go off for a social media free June. Helpfully my Ferdinand Picard rose has bloomed in time to share the raspberry ripple fabulousness with you all. Have a wonderful month, my lovelies, and I’ll see you in July!

My Darcy Bussell rose, which is such a deep velvety red it never looks on camera how it does in real life, has started to bloom. This is as good a photo as I could get! #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #DavidAustinRoses

My Margaret Merril rose is blooming and it smells absolutely divine. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #Roses #DavidAustinRoses

Today may be wet & miserable looking but my garden is currently the go-to crèche & snack spot for the local birds; so far I’ve spotted juvenile starlings, robins, blackbirds, blue tits, great tits & sparrows along with their adults plus this lovely Song Thrush. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #Birds🪶

It has mostly been grey and wet today so I’ll return us all to last week’s sun and the figs in the walled garden at Attingham. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy

It’s #TheGlorious25th when we #WearTheLilac and and sing #HowDoTheyRiseUp. Here are lilacs and proof both that I am wearing some and at the start of a fun day out in Oxford with my bestie. Hope everyone else has a glorious Sunday too! #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #GNUTerryPratchett

I do love alliums, they’re spiky spheres of beauty! #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy

Lovely lupins for what is currently being an incredibly productive Friday. #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy
