My answer is simple: start with the colours you love. Surrounding yourself with your happy colours naturally creates a space that brings you joy.

After all,  selecting the right colours can be daunting - ...

Trimming away winter growth encourages new shoots to emerge, allowing sunlight and nutrients to reach the roots. This initial grooming sets the tone for the season ahead, laying the foundation for a flourishing garden with life, colour, and the promise of abundance.

My eldest son is home from university, and the excitement of having him here, is as good as when they were little, is truly the most precious gift I could ask for. The traditional Christmas feast I love to prepare is going to be even more special, kn...
