January 25, 2012 | Wordless Wednesday: Great Bustard at Norwich Castle
January 24, 2012 | If you go into the woods today, you're in for a big surprise not quite fly agaric Serried timber trees, broad trunked with fly agaric mushrooms poking through dead leaves. Why is this the popular image of a wood? Should we blame Racey Helps or Beatrix Potter? Apparently not. According to Oliver Rackham, (the historian of the English countryside) this woodland askew view is to be blamed on [...] January 10, 2012 | The garden skeleton is revealed to bitter tears Take a look at this and this: Dem bones. I stayed up way too late last night and surfed with saddo zeal amongst the gardening blogs. Take back saddo. Read, laughed, imbibed, learnt and went a little boss eyed. Got just a little hooked. Quite a few gardeners are posting fabulous images of their garden [...] December 12, 2011 | The very lonely Christmas tree A Saturday stroll took us past St Pauls Cathedral and the tent village. It is looking permanent and not too uncomfortable. Free books and beanbags to sit on beckoned. An upright piano on a pallet and under awning suggested dancing and carousing later. The plane tree in the middle was celebrating with banners, baby bootees [...] December 9, 2011 | This tree is so dead it is alive The blasted trunk, hit by lightening, stands it’s ground in the middle of a footpath. As a stately thing, the tree rules over young sweet chestnuts. Though dead as a dodo and sloughing away its lignified dead cells bit by by, it provides the ultimate wildlife habitat. A sculpture too, to be coveted for [...] November 22, 2011 | St Catherine's Hill and St Cross The top of the hill was an Iron Age fort. Stand there and look around. The beech woods slide down the earthworks and delve you down into the valley of the river Itchen. Tributaries of chalk streams of the tickled brown trout and some of the best fly-fishing in England. Behind the hill the traffic [...] November 18, 2011 | Grave places used to completely creep me out. Now I love a good graveyard. It’s probably an age thing. Hidden away there are numinous and peaceful places that are worth seeking out to sit in and be still. Down an alleyway off one of the shopping streets in Woodbridge there is a worn brick [...] November 10, 2011 | Get naked at David Austin The leaves are off, or nearly, and I’m taking my mind back to David Austin and February. I went there for a day’s course on designing with roses run by the inexorable Diana Perry, fount of rose lore. Due to dog trauma (another story altogether) I did not write a blog log but now I [...] November 7, 2011 | Best/worst front gardens - series 3 I rate this garden *** (largely due to snappily clipped yew) Ratings explained: * Call for a skip ** Concrete over it *** Covet it **** I’d sling my hammock here ***** In my wildest dreams Like it?

We are about to plant an avenue of these trees on a hilltop (if you can call a Suffolk rise in the ground that). A wildflower meadow has been seeded around them. Like it?
