Dramatic sunset over the back garden. #AlphabetChallenge #weekDforDramatic

Happy #thicktrunkTuesday. One of the magnificent old trees on the Blickling estate. #BlicklingNT #Norfolk

A Common Blue butterfly enjoying a Cornflower at Forde Abbey back in September. The pattern on the underside of it's wings is a work of art #GardensHour 🦋 🌱

Had to scroll back to 1st June 2025 for this #GardensHour #BlueMonday #BloomScrolling

Here’s a blue recommendation if you haven’t come across it yet. Scaevola surdiva. I’ve grown the variety ‘Fashion Pink’ before but last year I tried the blue for the first time with good success. Good ground cover. #GardensHour

Echinops in the gravel garden. OK not exactly blue but close. #GardensHour

Geranium Rozanne. Classic and reliable. #gardenshour

We’re having a very good spell of weather here, so able to get into the garden and make progress on maintenance of this corkscrew willow which has grown a bit too big for the garden. Will need pro help for the tallest branches. It will regenerate quickly. #gardening #UKgardens #trees

Swanning around over Blickling this afternoon. #Norfolk #Blickling

Cracking day in these parts. Took a long walk around the Blickling estate with my pal. #BlicklingNT #Norfolk #dogwalking #Irishsetters

A combination of formal, semi-formal and wild through the hedge at the back. It’s the variation that keeps my interest. About half of the sixty or so roses have been pruned, hope to finish the rest today. Wishing all gardeners a productive day. #gardening #UKgardens #Norfolk 🌱

A bright and frosty start for us on the south coast - a welcome interlude from incessant rain. ‘Gold Spice’, bred by Gareth Fryer, seen at #rhswisley #RoseWednesday Have a good day everyone, take care. 🌱

Morning, a cold Glen walk in the Langdales at the weekend, with the mountains showing off their snowy tops...❄️🥾🥾☕️ xx

Shame that the fun tree decs need to be stored away for another year. That’s how they last the years I guess. Maybe we would last better if we got stored away for a while 😂 #Twelfthnight #NewYear

A few days ago before the cold snap. #thicktrunkTuesday #Felbrigg #Norfolk

Winter mood in the garden.❄️😍 #photographyofbluesky #bluesky #nature #NaturePhotography #gardening #gardens #Norway #NaturePhoto #inspiration

The value of evergreen and structure in a winter garden. #gardening 🌱

We bought this house for its location and designed this extension to enjoy the garden in all weathers. I thank the Romans for underfloor heating as I sit in my happy place and plan the gardening season ahead. #UKgardens #gardening #design #housedesign #Norfolk

Winter wouldn’t be winter without a bit of the white stuff. The blanket rose Sunset looking remarkably resilient. This area, which was lawn, is being turned into a huge “hot” bed of bright colours for the coming season. Yes I know it takes some imagination! #UKgardens #gardening #winter 🌱

I know I’ll get stick for this, but I’ve always been curious about those who enjoy eating fruit cake with cheese. Even with northern heritage it seems weird to me. So I tried it today and I can confess, it is weird 😬. Mind you I don’t like salt and sweet popcorn either.

Chilly evening so only one thing for it.

This evening’s sunset was awesome. Shepherds delight. #NewYear #sunset

Perfect afternoon walk around Felbrigg with the dog. #NationalTrust #FelbriggHall #Norfolk

“This is my best side”. A fab walk across the dunes at Winterton today, with large numbers of seal pups everywhere. A true delight. If you go, please keep your distance. #Winterton #Norfolk #coastalpaths

Here endeth two days of over-indulgence. #Christmas #families

Another finger post from the coast. On a cracking day in these parts. #fingerpostFriday #Norfolk #familydays

Big, blue winter skies yesterday. Perfect for a stroll along the coast.

Couple of lemons still left on the tree, ripe in time for Christmas. Who said you can’t grow good lemons in the UK? I’ve had quite a few off this little tree which I shall keep small through potting and pruning. Just brought it into the greenhouse today. #UKgardens #gardening 🌱

All is still. All is calm. This afternoon in these parts. Great walking weather. #walking #winter

another cracking day to walk the dog

All is calm over in Cromer today.

These fellas are refusing to tell me what they got up to last night, but they look like they had a good time! #alphabetchallenge #weekXforXmas

A winter’s day in a deep and dark December #winter #sunset #Norfolk

Inside Cromer lifeboat station. Many lives saved over many years. What an incredible job these folk do. #alphabetchallenge #weekWforWindows #RNLI #Norfolk

And the replacement windbreak is all but finished after working on it today. Don’t know why it took so long and a collapse for me to get round to doing it.

The rain has held off in these parts as it often does so managed to get the new posts in for the replacement windbreak. Can’t be taking a risk on winter storms. Vertical, level and straight.

Another fabulous December day. Always nicer walking the dog under these skies. #Irishsetters #Norfolk

That was close. Ironically a bit of wind last night broke the greenhouse wind breaker 🤪. Been meaning to replace it as it was rotted so it’s a bit of a nudge. Oh and #alphabetchallenge #weekWforWindows. Lots of them.

The sun sets on autumn in the garden. All will be quiet until the snowdrops arrive.

Nope sorry, lunch is over.

The windmill on the marsh. Winter is a truly beautiful season in many parts of the UK, including here at Cley-next-the-Sea. The sky is big and the air is clean and crisp. #Cley #Cleymarshes #Norfolk #coast #winter

Pink-footed geese quickly into formation after departing Cley marshes yesterday. #Norfolk #NWT #birdmigration

Was a glorious day for a beach walk along the Norfolk coast. The seals, working their way to the birthing beaches, kept popping up to keep a curious eye on me. #coastalpaths #beaches #walking #northNorfolk
