I have had an interest in fuchsias now for over 30yrs.
I have had many, lost a lot to cold winters, but still have photos to remember them.
Just a little to share till we see them new fuchsias grow .
Hoping my 2011 fuchsias have come through the winter

Next time you have a stroll in my garden with me my Spring bulbs should all be in bloom.
A real splash of colour then.

On our way home today we made a detour as it was such a beautiful day with blue sky.
But it was very cold and a strong wind blowing which made it difficult to stand!
A wonderful walk on not such a windy day.

Hi everyone. Here we are on the 19th January already. It does not seem long since we were posting Christmas cards.
We have had many sunny but rather cold frosty days, however this does not stop life in the garden.
Soon all our snowdrops shall be blooming. In my own garden 4 are in bloom and the rest are not far behind.
Last year I personally collected and planted out a mass carpet of snowdrops in our local community garden and I popped down the other day to see if the snowdrops were showing, but no sign yet. As you can see, we have a big task ahead of us!
Over the next few weeks I will be taking photos of the changes as the colours evolve in the garden.
Spring is my favourite time of the year with all the different spring bulbs and I will share with you my pots of tulip bulbs I planted back in early Autumn. They are now starting to show through.
In the photo below you can see one of my hellebores in bloom. I have so many of these treasures dotted around the garden.
The pot on its side is a spilling pot of Muscari. It wasn’t always broken but now adds to the effect in my garden.

Not sure of the name of this one but I really like it.

Loch Brandy 15th January 2012
A Sunday afternoons walk just has to share some of my Husbands photos with you.
We have amazing countryside with wonderful hills for walking
We are so lucky to live in an area with beautiful Scottish views
With the blue sky you could take this to be a summers day but not forgetting it was a cold January afternoon
A real tough climb up but so worth it to see the impressive view.
This is called the snub
First views of Loch Brandy which lies at the foot of a corrie. The water was slightly frozen.
View of Glen doll
Private Fishing Loch in a frosty Glen Clova
And an Amazing sunset
