Allotment and kitchen garden blog
Based in Ickleford, Hertfordshire, UK.
My own little allotment of land (in whatever form it takes, whatever I do with it, or dream of doing) serves as a springboard for creativity and happiness.
Looking around lovely gardens, especially those open for National Garden Scheme with occasional visits elsewhere.
Birds, Animals, the Occasional Dash of Whimsy and lots of Pictures.

Thanks. That’s what I felt taking the pictures, so glad to share!
An absolutely stunning set of photos. And I love the quote too.
Thanks. The quote seemed so right and insightful, I must look up more of his work
Fabulous photos, what a fitting accompaniment to the wonderful quote. I shall look it up later.
Thank you. I will be checking out more of his work too.
Beautiful, vibrant pictures. Lovely.
Thanks Jessica!
Looks like you’re having a great spring! Beautiful.
Yes the bright colours are kicking in and the energy around is so obvious. Hope that you’re enjoy the same.
All those pretty pollinators. Oh, and the flowers are great, too! Terrific photos, all!
A bevy of happy bees! ❤
Lovely bees and bulbs. Spring really is here at last.
