We managed to find a small posy for Ti today – not much colour in our garden at the moment.
I was making a Dauphinoise for our meal tonight and sliced the potatoes on our new mandolin – they looked so lovely I had to take a photo!
Nearly there in this photo, the potatoes, leeks and cream cheese almost layered up ready for our veggie meal this evening.
The Hebe in our Suffragette garden is in flower and the lovely white cyclamen that are planted underneath are also looking lovely.
I have completed one of the three angels for L using her own bits of jewellery. I’m really pleased with this one – I like the way the colours go together.
We’ve started the work on the Suffragette Garden that needs an overhaul. The blind Narcissi in the first photo are now out and the ground ready for planting.

2. Â The ground is already for planting…..
Ready
3. …… and the Hebes are in, ‘Baby Marie’ Â which will grow to 40 cms and I hope, in time, they will make a little hedge. The have white flowers but the buds are tinged with purple so will be perfect for this garden.

4. Â I was given these bulbs for Christmas a few years ago but nothing happened and I had forgotten all about them. This year, here they are in the little wall garden and I don’t know what they are called. Help, anyone?
Identity needed
5. Â The Narcissi are brightening up a dark corner. I’m hoping Storm Freya, which is on its way won’t beat them down.
More Narcissi
6. Â Now for something completely different! Â It is St Piran’s Day here in Cornwall and our little town celebrates with a parade and hundreds of daffodils – in every shop window, in lapels, as decoration. It’s great fun!

1 Â I love how the sun has caught the purple edge of the Hebe leaves and highlighted the stamens on the flower.

2 Â Going out in Skippalong today to follow the Tall Ships Parade of Sail we noticed pleasing haystacks on the horizon.(I’ll post a gallery of the beautiful ships tomorrow)
