I haven't read any Beverley Nichol's books. I remember my brother reading them when we were growing up. I must check them out! Hi Kay

So pleased that you've enjoyed the posts. Hi Leanne, Happy New Year. Thanks for your inspirational blog. Hi Jan, Yes the viburnum is Dawn. A real treasure as it flowers on and off all winter. I could always send you some cuttings if you draw a blank with your friend. Hi Joanna I'm continuing through 2008. I can't give up now. Happy New Year. Hi Mildred We have Spring bulbs just peeping up too. I saw a pool of snowdrops in Cambridge yesterday - that means we'll have them in a couple of weeks! Hi Kay I met Beverley Nichol's partner a couple of years ago but was too in awe to ask anything about him! Lichen is beautiful. We have winter jasmine in the garden but it's not in flower at the moment. It's planted in a really shady spot and has struggled. I think that it would be worth putting in some more. I love violets. Hi Sara I'm hoping to be a bit more adventurous with my arrangements in 2008. Hi Rosemary Fancy having a delphinium already! I love broom, ours died a few years ago. I must replace it. Hi Kate(uk) Our jug of holly is still looking fresh too. Thanks for the inspiration. I think that I'll add to it after 12th night. Hi Sam There's nothing like you own flowers on your own table - especially in Winter! Hi Amanda

Happy New Year too! So pleased that you’ve enjoyed the posts.

Hi Leanne,

Happy New Year. Thanks for your inspirational blog.

Hi Jan,

Yes the viburnum is Dawn. A real treasure as it flowers on and off all winter. I could always send you some cuttings if you draw a blank with your friend.

Hi Joanna

I’m continuing through 2008. I can’t give up now. Happy New Year.

Hi Mildred

We have Spring bulbs just peeping up too. I saw a pool of snowdrops in Cambridge yesterday – that means we’ll have them in a couple of weeks!

Hi Kay

I met Beverley Nichol’s partner a couple of years ago but was too in awe to ask anything about him!

Hi Sara

I’m hoping to be a bit more adventurous with my arrangements in 2008.

Hi Rosemary

Hi Kate(uk)

Our jug of holly is still looking fresh too. Thanks for the inspiration. I think that I’ll add to it after 12th night.

Hi Sam

There’s nothing like you own flowers on your own table – especially in Winter!
