I am usually either designing gardens or working on keeping them looking good. I love to travel to various bits of Europe and explore history and culture. I like planet Earth so sustainability is important; more renewables less fossil fuels. Respect for all I don't argue about politics or religion! I can not spell so forgive me those errors!

Cheering Up Mondays #349 - The Chatty Gardener

A flower to brighten the start of the week.

The Chatty Gardener

A morning on the allotment then a spontaneous trip over the tops past Pen-y-ghent to Littondale. After days of rain and fog, nothing more uplifting than clear winter sunshine in the Dales.
