Home thoughts from abroad

O to be in England
Now that April's there


We are on the first day of our holiday in Madeira but I am still thinking of my gardens back home!

I will be able to post about some wonderful plants.

The first of my narcissus at Worsbrough.

I am glad I managed my monthly Worsbrough visit before I left.

I am not sure all my plants are appreciated in Barnsley.

Pity the witch hazels will be past it when I get home.

Brenda won’t miss the wonderful over-powering sickly pervading smell.

I wonder what the weather's like...

Hope I gave the houseplants enough water…

Wonder if it will get too cold for them...

Hope Poppy's ok...

Did I lock the door!

And whoever wakes in England
Sees, some morning unaware
That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
In England now!
