Down the garden path with Big Sister

 Have had a lovely afternoon in the garden ... I am getting ready for overseas visitors!

Come and meet some of the personalities
that live here...

This is Violet.

She quietly whispers happy memories of Ruth and Nan.

This is Camellia.

She always appears before I expect her to, often when the cold weather first arrives. She can be bold and brash ...

... or she can be quite demure.

This is Daphne.

Daphne is a remarkably hardy soul, blooming when winter is at its harshest. Her heady perfume fills the air when she flowers. This may be Daphne's last year in our garden as change and progress take over - will have to  take a tiny snippet and see if I make her bloom and grow again.

This is Iris...

And here is Ivy, not always such a welcome visitor!!

Rosemary likes nothing better than a lamb roast or baked potatoes...

And our pride and joy is Fig. He looks rather bare here but he promises us that he will yield a large crop of delicious fruit next season!!

And then there is Leaf.

He and his gazillion friends visit every evening - he really needs to learn to use social networks more safely - the parties are becoming all too much, and the mess he leaves behind is abominable!!!

I hope you have enjoyed your little meander through 'our patch' - before we know it Spring will be here with even more personalities popping in to say hello!
