There’s a Rose called Deep Secret; beautiful, its fragrance velvety divine.

I imagine it looks like my own heart, full of desire.

Of which as it cannot speak it, like the petals of that Rose, stain with bleeding love.

A purple Clematis with a particularly fluffy creamy centre.

Another memory to share with you. Clematis play a big role in my tiny garden because they take up such a small space at ground level and flower for many weeks. Today is the last dry day for the foreseeable so I will be outside.

A single bloom of the peony 'Showgirl'. The outer petals are a pale pink and the centre is a pale yellow. It is surrounded with long narrow green leaves.

2 fuzzy black and yellow Bumblebees cling, on opposite sides, to a goldenweed bloom. The left one is positioned above the right, both facing inward. The background is made up of blurred green leaves.

Good luck to anyone starting the year with a new health regime. Here’s how mine always goes.

A purple Clematis flower. Its six petals lie flat against green foliage and the fluffy creamy centre provides a good contrast.

As winter progresses I dream of warmer weather and a tiny garden full of flowers. There always seems to be room for another Clematis as they take up so little space at ground level.

Inside the mother of all Neolithic tombs ... Newgrange in Ireland. This photo, from excavator Michael O'Kelly's book, shows the chamber (with spiral carving) that is illuminated via the famous roofbox opening at winter solstice. A 5,200-yr-old celebration of the return of the sun. #TombTuesday

Cartoon. A stylised figure with a big moustache stands in front of a box labelled sticks, out of which poke various sticks, some with leaves. Two smaller teddy bear-like creatures are addressing the figure, saying "I'd like one plain stick and one with a leaf on please"

This cartoon should appeal to people who love, or are just generally interested in, sticks.
