My Little Garden 21st Jan 2023 This week we had a whole afternoon of glorious January sunshine and I sneaked in a quick visit to the gardens at Arley Hall. With my annual pass renewed I set off in search of the first snowdrops and anything else I could find…

My Little Garden 14th Jan 2023 I week ago I was wondering what on earth I was going to photograph that would be half-way interesting enough to share for Six on Saturday. In retrospect, last week was easy, and after another week of non stop rain I’m almost stumped (no…
