Things are starting to take shape on a current project. Out of the mud, a long forgotten corner of a garden is beginning to reveal itself.

We are all really excited with how things are going.

Yes, this whole area was hidden, it's now becoming connected to the main garden and terraces

Quince jelly and membrillo on the go...

Mashed quince piled into a muslin in a colander over a saucepan

Muslin tied up and hanging clear of the pan so the juice can drip through.

I think he'll be brilliant, he's certainly keeping me on the edge of my seat 🤣

I think stand-up comedians are very observant and quick, so those could be great attributes and his personality can cover that up.

Would like to fool the eye by planting with various Astrantia...

Curious and attractive at the same time.

Yesterday’s sunset featured some pretty moments.

Not your usual rose, but one that I love.

Rosa x odorata 'Virdiflora' or the green rose 🌹

Grows happily in our working garden and perfect for a green foil in the vase.

Rosa 'Little Rambler' does what it says on the tin, compact + repeat flowering - sure a more exciting name could have been used

However, it's a fantastic rose for where you want the rambling rose look but don't have the space.
