A Few Years Ago

Well another Birthday has passed and I was sent a Beautiful Christmas Cacti ..My dearest friend from  

Outer London , she sends me a gorgeous Plant or Flowers every year. Two  weeks ago and is now just beginning to open her buds. 

I think it's the best thing ever to receive a lovely colourful plant, especially this time of year. 

Well where has the YEAR gone, has it gone by too quickly for you also. 

A lot of things have happened this Year which in turn hasn't been a good one .

For me I lost my darling Greyhound (Brindle) , and the Summer seemed to fade into insignificance.

I came across the above Header and there he was his little paw prints in the Snow. 

Our little walks around the Garden , indeed left its mark , it made me smile today.

It's a cold and damp Day here today , but the rain at least has held off.

Looks to be more rain heading our way though.

Enjoy your Week .

Bright and Sunny

With a hard Frost last night , it was Lovely to see a clear blue sky for a change. The garden looks so pretty , and with a layer of ice on the Pond . 

The most relaxing place to be to get away from the hustle and the bustle. I should sell tickets LOL .

Christmas is just around the corner , and I'm thinking of that roast Turkey already with all it's trimmings. My Birthday just recently gone I enjoyed a few long chat's with my family. Another year older my oh my doesn't time fly. 

Most of all I was happy to hear my Brother  is feeling a lot better , after a nasty bout of Shingles. Poor soul he has suffered badly for 3 months, I didn't realise it went on so Long. 

So it was good to hear him having a little Laugh again. 

Off to the Kitchen on this lovely cold chilly afternoon , to gaze across the Moors (Dartmoor) 

While I rustle up a hot meal to pop in the Oven , consisting of Chicken Skinned breast's and Butter beans, Tinned Tomatoes....Yum.

Wishing you well and Good health 

November Drawing To A Close

Top of My Garden 

November has passed by almost.. the Sun is setting Lower in the Sky.

This weekend is set to get Colder , after all the Heavy Downpours across the South West England. 

Lots of Homes and Workplaces have been flooded, and we have had up to 190 Flood Warnings, around the Country.  With a Loss of Life also. 

 We are pretty high up where we live and have managed to escape any threat. 

My Prayers go out to all these unfortunate People that have been flooded.

My Winter Treasures

Chinese Rose and Christmas Cacti 

These two little plants never let me down, taking care of them during the year really pays off.

Since all has died down in the garden it's good to see a bit of colour.

Have a Great Week

September

I travelled by car to visit my sister , outer London 210 miles one way. It was a good journey yet quite busy on the roads funny enough. This time of year it tends to be much quieter on that route. My sister and hubby where planning a short break , so asked me if I would look after their pets. Consisting of one African Parrot, 3 gold fish, 2 tiny hamsters oh and Poppy one slightly over weight Terrier/ cross. Rather spoilt so was wondering how she would behave with me... Well I needn't have worried one iota , we got on very well .
The weather stayed quite pleasant that week, as on returning it changed for the worst.

My Begonia are doing very well they just keep on and on, above lovely red. 

I am in the middle of planting Daffodil bulb's around the perimeter . It just came to me don't know why I didn't think of it before. So lots and lots of bulb's to go in yet, planted around 40 so far, mixed variety's . I purchased a tool with a long handle so I wouldn't have to do so much bending , wonderful. Makes all the difference . 

The pink plant was given to me by my sister , very pretty and also doing well in the conservatory. A primrose I do believe.

Thank you for your visits and your warm thoughts much appreciated . Have a lovely week looks to be a wet one here with sunny spells.

Oh the last picture was a visit I made to A local Pony Sanctuary , it was a Beautiful day earlier this year. 

July brings...

My Beautiful Coral Roses 

Hiding under the undergrowth I discovered a Astilbe , creamy little flowers. The Beautiful Hydie's every July
Lovely pale Blue. It's nearly the end of the month , so I hope August brings more Blooms. It's been a mixed month weather wise, with heavy rain and Sunshine and warm weather towards the end of the Month.
Have a Lovely Weekend and hope the Sun is shining today . If not just enjoy what ever the weather.

A Few Blooms

Just to say have a great Weekend .Here is a few
