a very damp winter's garden






The weather has been terribly dreary here… when the wind isn't whistling around the side of the house and down the chimney, the rain is battering the windows… ugh. Having said that, in weather like this I'm always incredibly thankful that we have a roof over our heads.

I braved the damp conditions to take a few photographs this week. It's somewhat comforting to know that whatever the weather, the garden can still look pretty awesome.

    Oh dear - it all looks so soggy. We have had some blue sky here today, so I hope that it comes your way soon! It should be heading in your direction. xx

    Those curly leaves are amazeballs - though the rain is utter pants. Loving that the rain isn't stopping the cobwebs though. Is it wrong that I looked at your washing line and had all sorts of dastardly visions of waiting till you were under it and flicking it so they all fell? It is isn't it...

    Thanks for joining in and sharing again - I love your photos, always x

    Even in the damp your garden is an inspiring and beautiful space. It's lovely seeing you really relish and embrace your garden in the depths of winter. I've barely set foot in my garden in the last month! x

    We are soggy today, again after a brief spell of sun. The spider webs are fabulous though! Rain and spider webs make great photographs as a bright spot in the dreary weather.
