When I'm not on my bike, you'll find me in my organic-ish garden in #Cumbria. Favourite plants? Wisteria, hellebores, peonies, philadelphus...

Yup! It’s the cold in combination with the rain that is the killer. But without the rain we wouldn’t have the lakes 🙄😊 @sieveheadsarah

I didn’t do well with my #pelargonium last year. Between the bank voles and overwatering only one survived and that was because I forgot about it 🙄 This year I’m hoping to do better. Haircut time... https://www.fibrex.co.uk/blogs/news/wintering-your-pelargoniums #pelargonium-overwinter

It is wonderful isn’t it. Claudia gave me some cuttings a couple of years ago but the voles ate them. I didn’t have the heart to tell her so I bought replacements 😍 @clipperty @pelly

Awwww but it started the love eh. They’re soooo beautiful! And fearful of the Fibrex website and the damage it would do to my purse...😆 But there’s a few on my wish list so I’ll turn a blind eye to the cost and order some sooner or later! X x x

15 Oct 2019 • Look Claudia 👀 Sid is flowering. He’s taken his time about it and needed to be brought inside to encourage him but worth the wait. His sibling is still outside and sulking but I will pot it up shortly and bring it in too 😃 @clipperty
