A nice amount of lichen and moss growing on this finger post. 🌱

A bit bedraggled after some really heavy rain, but the 1st wild daffodils were open today.🌱

Seeing the swifts arrive each year is a real highlight for me. I know that Reform don't want them here, but i think we should do all we can to help them.

Well, the rubbish weather is continuing, but this little chap brightened up my dog walking duties. 🌱

You can eat the leaves and flowers but I was told the bulbs are not edible.

We have had heavy rain for the last month. I'd definitely rather have some nice dry snow!

The wild garlic is starting to grow in the woods. 🌱

That's the willow arbour planted. Check back in five years to see the finished item! 🤣🌱

That is a tad nippy!

I guess that means the gardening year has started. 🌱

England, you really do have another credible choice over Labour, Tories and Deform.

The last sunset of 2025.
It's been a year of ups and downs.
Last goodbyes to my dog, my cat and my mother.
Hellos to my first grandchild and a new dog.

I hope everyone has the year they want in 2026!

If I had known, I would have gone to see this. It looks fantastic.

It is lovely, but I think it is really busy in the summer.

We saw a lady going in for a swim at Lulworth cove. It didn't tempt me!

Despite living less than an hour away, I visited Durdle door last week for the first time.
(BTW park on the road, the car park is a minimum of £12.50 for 4 hours)

Another lovely sunset today, but probably the last we'll see for the rest of the week.

Bottle brush still flowering at Lyme Regis, and bees still out collecting nectar. Not bad for the second half of December.🌱

I walk past this gate every day. It brings back happy memories of almost every birthday present I received as a child.

It started off this close, but i cropped it down.

This little fellow was out helping me garden this afternoon.🌱

I wonder if Paul Lumber was a plumber?🤔

Lovely sunset this evening in Devon.

The sunrise this morning after yesterday's storm was lovely.

🤣

Old houses do look lovely, but sometimes double glazing, insulation and removal of draughts and damp do seem very appealing!

Thats the house all dressed up in its Christmas finery.

You can actually see the orange glow as he makes off with them🤣

I just noticed that the photo is marked with "AI content".
I just got a new phone with this function, but the content was not changed. I attach a photo taken a few minutes earlier as proof!

I just take photos on my phone. I can't be bothered to carry a camera. (Even then I frequently miss a photo as I fail to get the phone out and turn it on in time!)
