Wings of Nature
In the meadows, soft and fair,Where flowers dance without a care,A butterfly, a fleeting sprite,With wings of colour, pure and bright.

Lovely Lavender

Dynamics of action and nurture
I’ve always loved to grow plants and have pottered in the garden for most of my life, with varying degrees of success, ranging from delight to despair! Due to my own career and, when our children were young, the career of my husband, I have moved my home many times. On the last count, I…
