 When Bryony was little I made her a Brontosaurus (which she called Bron).  As part of my 'Recovery Box' from Bryony and Mark I received this chap who I have named Brontoo (as in Bron2).  He can be put in a microwave and used as a hot water bottle - ideal for my neck at the moment.

One of my favourite annual catalogues is the Cayeux Iris catalogue.  Even if I don't buy any - and I probably won't this year - I can happily browse through it for hours.

March 14th was Mother's Day in the UK and that is my signal to give the cacti a really good watering.  Then I water regularly once a fortnight for the rest of the spring / summer before letting them rest again over the winter.  This recipe for getting them to flower seems to work when I carry it out properly..

The Daffodils are reaching their peak.

I'm currently reading Elliot Patison's 'Water Touching Stone' - this seemed an appropriate photo for this
wonderful book about Buddhism and Tibet.

The snowdrops in the garden got battered by the weather yesterday but one little group survive in a pot.

It's wet and windy and the wind chimes are doing their thing.
