An Impressive Christmas tree - the beautiful Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus Libani ‘Glauca’) cones growing in Tewkesbury Abbey gardens.

As a kiwi I have a special fondness for weatherboard houses having grownup living in them. In the original picture the house and the adjacent shed aesthetically look so good together.

School bus route! Now takes an hour to get to school instead of 15mins. My garden escaped relatively free from damage with a shrub torn asunder and an allotment fence down.

Mediterranean planting on roof terrace

I’ve been inspired by the plant forms on this roof terrace in Malta to create a mounding planting-plan for a dry-garden design in the Cotswolds.

Old photo of Painswick churchyard with unmown grass contrasting with recent photo with mown grass.

Painswick churchyard - spot the difference!

Churchyards are often species rich, if managed thoughtfully they can be havens for biodiversity.

View from my studio window this morning. Topiary looks so good with a dusting of snow.

Longest market in the UK. Impressive that you ink onto the paper without first making a sketch.

Kakapo are very appealing. I so miss the sound of birdsong in the New Zealand bush, in particular the Tui.
