Simple pleasures.

In winter everything seems to die off in the garden. Not really true, you just have to look harder and get pleasure from the tiny things.


My first snowdrop, aptly poking through the first snow of the year.


The twinkling lights of the solar powered fairy lights only make it on for about 10 minutes before the battery is dead at this time of year, but for 10 minutes it is very lovely, lighting up the snow.


The snow has it's very own beauty, I sat just looking at it with my morning cup of coffee.

Simple pleasures.

  1. Beautiful! I'm enjoying following what you're planting in your garden as I have no idea what to put in mine..things keep going in and either dying or being taken out because they weren't right. One day I'll get it right! Claire

  2. Oooh! Very Prettiful! All our snow got lost in sleet yesterday, we just got up to the wet mush left behind that had frozen solid in a hard frost. It is however a lovely blue skied day here. Hope all is well with you. Nx

  4. I didn't realize you got snow like that there? Wow. That's like up North here in the states. We NEVER get that kind of snow in these parts. Sadly the farm will never look like that beautiful Winter wonderland. I think I'd love to have a cup of hot chocolate and sit there staring at that.

    Enjoy! The promise of Spring is just around the corner!

    Be warm!

  6. It's beautiful! :) We haven't really had any here in Bristol (meant to snow on Friday though!!). Your house is in such a lovely area!

    I have some bulbs coming up - daffodils and tulips. Maybe next year I'll find somewhere to grow some snowdrops - I love to see the first flowers of the new year!
