Sunny Sunday for Snowdrops.
The sunshine today has been amazing. Sitting in the conservatory after lunch, I was getting too hot, no heating, just the sunshine coming through the glass. I went for a wander round the woodland to cool off! Thank goodness the … Continue reading
Back to School.
The Rotary Club in Exeter have promised a school in the city that they will redesign and plant their little garden, with wildlife in mind. The undergardener is a member of the Rotary Club in Exeter and I was roped … Continue reading
