Spectacular Sunrise

I had a trip to Leeds last Saturday. This model was in Harvey Nicks window.

Would you like to buy a handbag from Louis Vuitton?

The willow pheasant I made is now perched on the wooden seat near the scarecrows.

We have pruned the fruit trees as several branches had broken due to the weight of the fruit. I have been clearing the soil at the base of the trees and have planted some snowdrop bulbs.

I have filled my plant containers with bulbs. To protect them against being eaten by mice I have put 'hairnets' on top of the plant pots. I will remove these when the bulbs start to shoot. I recycled an old torn garden net for the hairnet.

The borders are now clear of the summer bedding plants and I have planted some late daffodils and tulips. I have a lot of foxgloves that have self seeded. I will transplant these on the outside wall of the garden.

We also trimmed the side of the hedge as it was spreading into the flower border

I am still harvesting kale and leeks.

Some giant toadstools have appeared in the garden.

Recently we have had dark mornings and foggy days with grey skies, but on Tuesday there was a superb sunrise. So spectacular as the sky constantly changed. 

A fantastic richness of colour

Look at the cloud patterns

Next week I am doing a workshop in Kirkoswald primary school making recycled owls. I have been working on the design and I am really looking forward to working with the children and seeing their ideas.

Three little owls to school are we
