  2. Hi Diane - how lovely to see ... and yes I've just been out and did not go near the sea ... as it's 'freezing' and much colder than I imagined! Gorgeous photos with their borders - love seeing the two type of bluebells ... and the black tulip - special ... thanks for showing us - take care - Hilary

    1. I am so glad that I managed to get a couple of the black tulip bulbs when we were in Amsterdam, the others were just red and orange pretty but not with the oomph of the black ones. Keep well and stay isolated. Cheers Diane

    1. I agree it can't go on forever, but I think the rest of this year is going to be a bit topsy turvy!!

      The frames are easy to do I just played around and hit on the idea. Send me an email if you want to know how :-)

      Stay safe and take care, best wishes to you both Diane

    1. Hi Grace, yes all from the garden. We are trying to get the vegetable garden planted and it is taking a lot of hard work. The weeds took over in winter and it was too wet to dig early now it is too dry!!! Hope you also have a good weekend and stay safe. Diane
