I took a lot of notes….

So much good ice out there this morning but this is my favourite, passion flowers grew over the waterfall so ice formed round the passion flower

Christmas Door, why make a wreath when you can build an arch. All made with cuttings from the garden.

Have stopped trying to keep the neighbours alpacas out of the garden. Wrapped the young apple tree in wire (which they were eating) and now just enjoying the view from my office window.

Loughton paid their respects today.

β€œThey shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
