Viburnum has the prettier flowers but for me it’s Sarcococca every time. Glossy green at a time we need it most and a glorious heady scent that punches well above its weight. I have it planted by the front door and it knocks me into a romantic daydream every time I pass it. .

Slightly belated Happy New Year! 2019 had one last surprise for us - wee Rudi put in an early appearance on Hogmanay. Congratulations to proud parents...my gorgeous nephew Rory and beautiful Kate - wouldn’t normally share such personal info but I’m so happy for them I could almost burst... #newdecade #newgenerationfamily

#ToolsDown and Merry Christmas to all our Instagram chums. We’re knocking off until after Hogmanay. Thanks for keeping us inspired and informed through 2019.
Swoonsome tunes by Mr B @omnempathy reworking Thomas Tallis’s ‘Spem in Alium’ .

To wish a Merry Christmas we rustled up some festive pics set to our own marvellous Mr B’s @omnempathy erosion of Thomas Tallis’s Spem in Alium...yep, they knew how to write a Christmas tune back then...1570. Wishing you all the merriest of festive seasons.

My frothy festive boudoir wreath, woven from willow and Miscanthus Flamingo. Suits the warm tones of firelight - definitely a pampered indoor sort of wreath. .

Edible jewels glistening on bare branches - my heroic little apple tree is doing his thing. Standing no more than 1.5m tall he offers up enormous russet fruits after all his leaves have dropped. Absolutely laden with fruit and stopping all visitors in his tracks. I wish I knew what variety he is - possibly Santa but I can’t be sure...

#soundscapes Day two of the frost storm gave us the chance to sneak out with under water recording kit to capture the sounds from below the ice on the old curling pond. It’s a fascinating, fizzy world down there...❄️

#hoarfrost The one morning out 365 that I sleep late, I wake up to this, knowing I’ve already missed two of the most beautiful hours of the year. .

#Totality Heart stopped and mind blown by the opening night of Katie Paterson and the #Now exhibition at the Scottish Gallery of Moden Art. Don’t get me started on the #FutureLibrary or her brilliance or I might never shut up 🌔💫🌑

#PresbyterianWorkEthic Tickled to find this curio hanging amongst the conventional paintings at the fabulous @hospitalfield clearly my sympathies are with the maid sleeping in the boss’s chair...

This is my hydrangea find of the day spotted at Aubonne arboretum in Switzerland. It’s not very imaginatively, but aptly, named paniculata ‘Late Summer’. Snaps of trees to follow once I can download them all. .

#colchicum growing in grass suddenly make sense. I was never particularly keen on the ones I inherited that emerged every year from gravel and soil after I had resisted pulling them out for their rather coarse Spring foliage. These alpinus ones are altogether more dainty meandering through the meadow at in Valais, Switzerland at 1600 feet above sea level.

Intriguing and enchanting kinetic sculpture by the brilliant Kathy Hinde. Part of Below the Blanket exhibition at the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh. Fascinating exhib. about the Flow Country - the peatlands of the Caithness and Sutherland.
