It’s been a while…. and much has happened since I last posted anything here. The gardens have closed for the winter, our new heat pump has been installed (yes, the house is warm, yes it’s wonderful, yes you can ask me about it if you really want to…), and I’ve stepped gingerly into my new role on the RHS Council. All of which is proving very excellent indeed.
Cavort is exactly what Long-tailed Tits do… a fleeting gang of dancers, alternating the lead, decided to entertain me for a couple of minutes yesterday (on a wonderful walk around Penycloddiau and Moel Arthur in stillness and sunshine) before swooping away skittishly and loosely choreographed. More precious for its brevity – a bit like the evanescent scent of the Cercidiphyllum – and much else besides.
Good company always welcome… now, can we persuade SB to take an afternoon off? Yesterday's weather was too good an opportunity to miss – the views are never disappointing on that route but the light and the cloud inversions were something else.
Thank you Sue for being a great friend,! for the lovely birthday tea and to all of my lovely friends for making me feel so special. Working at Bluebell is one of my greatest pleasures it’s such a fabulous friendly place to work. I don’t ever want to retire because it’s such a special place for me.

Happy 80th Jan.
I'll get my bulbs in if you do yours…
Very beautifully put. We should join you on one of your perambulations one day, if we may. x

Happy birthday, Jan!
