Oh what a night....
We are incredibly lucky to have the most amazing sunsets here. A bonus we never expected when we moved here.

What a lovely start to the day!
Did you know that robins are seen as symbols of good luck! ๐
๐ถ These gorgeous birds sing all year-round, with females often taking the lead in winter.
๐ They're loyal companions, following gardeners for a tasty treat. This behavior is thought to be an adaptation from when robins followed wild boars in ancient forests.
๐ชบDon't forget that they are a protected species and so never disturb them or their nests.

Check out 'Galium verum' also known as Lady's Bedstraw! ๐ผ
This pretty yellow flower has an interesting history. People used to stuff their mattresses with it because it smells nice and keeps fleas away.
It's also handy in the kitchenโThe flowers were also used to thicken milk in cheese manufacture (which gives the plant its name, from the Greek word ฮณฮฌฮปฮฑ, gala 'milk') and, in Gloucestershire, to colour the cheese double Gloucester

Did you know snowdrops were named after earrings? In the 15th-17th centuries, ladies wore white drop-shaped earrings called 'ear drops'!
They have fascinating folklore behind them, like being a symbol of hope since Adam and Eve's time.
Plus, snowdrops contain natural antifreeze and were even used to de-ice tanks in WWI!
