Awww, TY Fairygirl and GWRS. I cannot believe I am having so much fun up the garden on the 9th of January. It feels like summer up there. Here is my nearest thing to a selfie - my reflection!
Flower buds on the Caltha palustris =marsh marigold.
One hydrangea flower left.
The yuccas make natural baskets for catching apples.
Cyclamen hederifolium leaves.
Snowdrops starting.
and my pig likes his hebe and heuchera companions.
Hi Marion you've been busy, lovely pictures and I'm loving the selfie too : ). Well it's still raining here and cold so I made a nice veg stew to warm us up : ).
Not been able to do anything in my garden as its to wet and soggy, I really can't wait for spring now.
Forecast is for maximum of 6degrees for Bristol today and heavy rain. We must have had a lot during the night according to the puddles outside and it is dark too. I have the light on right now. I think any gardening will have to be done in the conservatory today. The forecast is for the cold weather coming to reach us about Tuesday when drier weather will arrive too. Sounds like the first frosts of this winter on the way. Looks like spring is on hold for now flumpy.
Morning Marion, yes it's stilling raining heavy here,dark and cold, my in laws are coming at 10am so going to get breakfast ready in minute, let's hope it drys up later Marion before we get webbed feet : )
This is my new favourite thread . No idea why I didn't read last year's. It was probably too long-established by the time I arrived on the site. Not the case with this year's!

How is this for colour coordination in my kitchen? The GWMag. calender has Wintersweet on it for January.
