#bee on #echinacea. This is my favourite photograph & always makes me feel so positive and #calm. The bee was just resting. #PositiveVibes. Surround yourself with gardening love on Twitter & outside to protect your #MentalHealth. #gardening #horticulture #wildlife

I took my UV torch into the woods…

And the other two bordering our little nativity scene 😄

@itsnotaboutwork #TonyBlythe these are much nicer in a frame than becoming Christmas card compost 😊. #ChristmasCards #Christmas #itsnotaboutwork

I'm doing it. I'm doing the frame thing! Everyone else I know gets supermarket cards. Done

These beautiful Christmas cards have arrived from #TonyBlythe @itsnotaboutwork. I'm so pleased, but now I have to write on them and send them to OTHER PEOPLE. Hmm, they might end up in a frame thT I bring out every Christmas instead... #Christmas #ChristmasCards #itsnotaboutwork

@kennyhiggs No flowers on mine yet, but lots of foliage!

The beautiful small flowers of the Dahlia merckii, obtained in a swap deal with @WildTouchSpaces. Thanks again Jo 👍

Day 2 of #30DaysWild - spotted this lovely English stonecrop growing on top of a fence post - isn’t nature just amazing 💚

FINALLY! "I'm coming out!" Sings the Bishop... @kennyhiggs my Merckii hasn't appeared yet, however 😢. #Dahlia #gardening #GardenDesign #WildTouchSpaces

@KyneRichard Same...just slugs and snails here!

@WildTouchSpaces Worth knowing.... possibly. Not a problem for me thankfully 🙂

I haven't posted in a while so thought I'd make a mini comeback impression. Bags of HUMAN HAIR tied to various small trees. I know the reason, do you?! Also...spot the bee. #Beaulieu #PestControl #CountryPub #SpotInTheWoods #gardening #WildTouchSpaces

@KyneRichard Hair to put off Muntjac deer from stripping the bark! Apparently they hate the smell!

@WildTouchSpaces Bee bottom left 🐝....hair for nesting birds🤔

@thriftygreen Ooh you went to the Gardener's World spring show as well?! Good wasn't it!

Look at this combo! It’s heaven! Does anyone know what the flowers are?

@kennyhiggs Yippee! Will send a picture of The Bishop...it's just about emerging.

First glimpse of the Dahlia merckii. It's being looked after away from the rest of the herd as they can be a bit tricky. They're also sometimes difficult to find so I'm very grateful to @WildTouchSpaces for donating this one.

Elm Scribblings: carved by creatures who live beneath the bark, revealed only when storm Eunice brought their world crashing down. 🌳😊

We've been hit particularly badly. I don't think there's any coming back from this. #TeaselTragedy #LifeOnTheVerge #KentCountryside #StormEunice

@DrJaninaRamirez Buying one! Looks amazing and inspiring. July at Waterstones!

So I’m not a size 8. So I wear cheap clothes and slap on what make up I can when I can. So I’m exuberant to the point of being marmite. I’ve just written a book I’m very proud of that I think will change the way you view the period in history I love. So I’m okay. X

On a wet and windy Sunday sometimes you just need a cuddle; here’s one for you folks.

@MarkLaneTV @BBCMorningLive Oh no Mark! Fingers crossed it's up and running again soon 😬

In bed under the duvet trying to keep warm. 13 hrs without electricity due to the storms. Time for an afternoon siesta. @BBCMorningLive

It has arrived! I'll be reading this for the remainder of the day. #ChildWithCovid #EnforcedIsolation #GardensUnderBigSkies #Netherlands #horticulture #NaturalisticPlanting #Sustainability #gardening #GardenDesign #WildTouchSpaces @noelk57, #MaaykeDeRidder instagram.com/p/CZ1mFMEqvlh/…
