Wakehurst, January 2024
As Januarys go, this year’s one had some beautifully sunny days amongst the midwinter murk. Yes, it was long, like all the memes say. Five Mondays! We had a week of snow and a couple of storms, too. Anyway, on…
That was the year that was 2023
2023, the year of re-integration! It definitely felt more “normal” to me, whatever that means. The end to the Covid-19 public health emergency was declared by the World Health Organisation in May 2023. The following is a sampling of what…

Sheffield Park, October 2022
There is always a good show of Autumn colour at Sheffield Park. Lots of people know this and it’s very popular indeed during the season. Helpfully, they open an hour early and have a booking system to regulate visitor numbers.…
Early Autumn at Wakehurst
After an unintentionally long hiatus, I found some time to visit Wakehurst at the beginning of the Autumn season. It was for me a perfect Autumnal day; sunny with the crisp freshness of the new season. The colours were turning,…
