Beautiful Rhiannon. The description of young lambs is dancing with their knobbly knees is perfect and spring wouldn't be spring without daffodils. They look so natural growing in the field in your photos, in contrast to my local council which...

Posted on Sun, 03 Mar 2019

This is beautiful Jenny. There is a sense of nature being effortless yet it always trumps human creations. I love the idea of it all being at your back door, I'm the same, I really appreciate my little garden and as one thing fades there is...
