The Beauty of Nature

I always love the quaint way we stop people from crossing railways. As if it is a real deterrent.

As you can see, the station is a little old fashioned and basic really.

It still has the old water tower for steam trains; gentler times eh?

This is a little place in Cumbria I went to recently, it’s called Foxfield and is very small and empty. It has one road going through it and most people never stop as there is only a pub and station here.

I?ve not been slacking off just because I have not posted recently. I have been very busy of late adding to the garden and reshaping things here and there. I shall be showing you soon, when I am ready of course.

This is almost a distant memory at the moment. February has been a dark dull month again. I’m looking forward to getting out in the garden again to see how my bulbs are doing.

These look rather like ice cream cones with their snow tops on.

I bought some new containers for growing vegetables. They were reasonably priced and will mean no more bending as I have given up the plot this year as the soil was just to claggy to work properly. As you can see the snow filled them up so I will find out if they are good drainers.

The poor old grass looked like it was drowning during the snow.

I couldn’t help but walk across the pristine snow and leave footprints; it’s what snow is for. 😉

We had snow as you know this past weekend. It is all but gone now, but while it was here it was nice. As a gardener I suppose I should be bothered about it, but at this time of the year it does my garden little harm and forces the slugs to wait.
