Here’s to a bloomin lovely trip to this bank holiday weekend. Here’s to rhododendron the size of a house, cherry blossom, the Japanese garden and mass wisteria.

To an abundance of usual species that would make even the most respectable Victorian green with envy. To the balmy glass house, the walled garden with the cosiest microclimate.

And here’s to family, cups of tea, picnics and sunshine.

🌸Happy May fronds.

🍂 Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.

I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

Poem by Emily Brontë

A poem for those dreading the thought of a cold winter ahead...

One, Two, Winter's Through by Annette Wynne

One, two, winter's through;
Three, four, spring's at the door,
Five, six, April's tricks,
Seven, eight, bird and mate,
Nine, ten, the world begins again!
