I hadn't intended to post yet more holiday snaps. Honestly, I hadn't. Afterall, it was only recently that I walked, and posted about, the Dales Way and a Lakeland walk. But, on my return to the Lake District, Jim and I experienced something quite special, even awesome (if that word can still mean what it … Continue reading Cloud Walking In The Lake District

Priory Picture Post # 20
I know that I have posted photos of a grass snake before (see - 'Grass Snake') but when I noticed one today (twice the size of the one I saw last September), I was rather excited. And very pleased. While I can't say that I approve of their diet (frogs and toads), I am only … Continue reading Priory Picture Post # 20
Spring Lambs
I went up to see Margaret the other day. (In case you don't know, Margaret farms the land on three sides of the Priory estate). I hadn't seen her for a while and, as well as having a natter and cadging a cup of tea, I had some bulbs to collect. We do joint orders … Continue reading Spring Lambs

And all that has been happening in this very busy period will have to be told in a couple of weeks ... ... which is … Continue reading An Auricula Interlude
Snow Over The Priory

We didn't get a huge amount in East Sussex; unlike in previous years. Several time last year, I had to leave my car up on the road and … Continue reading Snow Over The Priory
Do Not Tempt Fate …

Yesterday, on the Anxious Gardener Facebook page, I posted a photo of some deer in one of Margaret's fields and jokingly said that I hoped they wouldn't come into the gardens. This morning, on arriving for work, I found this: Apple Cox's Orange Pippin' - … Continue reading Do Not Tempt Fate …
