Did you know that snowberries are also called 'ghostberries'? I know which name I prefer! 👻

How beautiful are these ghostberries seen on a recent twilight run?

#Winter is one of my favourite #seasons in the #garden, not only for the frozen spiderwebs, but also for the #hellebores. Indeed, hellebores are at their best from January with richly coloured flowers of white and pink and purply-black providing much needed nectar for active pollinators.

Helleborus is a baneful herb (it is poisonous) that, according to legend, formed part of European witches' famed flying ointment.

'I am the thing in the dark.'

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland

Have you read House of Hollow? It's a dark tale of three strange sisters who went missing on an Edinburgh New Year's Eve as children but were returned seemingly unharmed aside from hair that turned white as milk and eyes that grew black as coal.

I devoured it. Pick it up at your local #independent bookshop or here:
