Dr Clare’s prescription …
A new year but second-hand resolutions
as per the erudite, sadly late-lamented Dr Anthony
Clare’s prescription for life:-
Cultivate
a passion
 |
| A garden is for life,not just for lazy, summer days |
Be
part of something bigger than yourself
 |
| Glorious winter Viburnum - bringing memories of Mr Swan and his passion for gardening |
Avoid
introspection
 |
| Remember that wise old owl - the more he heard the less he spoke |
Don’t
resist change
 |
| Bronze Fennel - in the wrong place in Pablo's garden? |
Live for
the moment
 |
| Enjoy Witch Hazel flowers with their delicious perfume whenever you have the opportunity |
 |
| Take stock - even in the dullest January Prunus Serula's glorious bark brings cheer |
Play
the part and be happy
 |
| Happiness is the way... |
Beautiful photographs and wise words - lovely.
ReplyDeleteThought provoking words, thank you. Your photographs have reminded me that its not always about being in awe of "flash" like petals etc, but also the simple, plain things, like the bark; bare snow topped snow. Would love some of that lovely snow here in New Zealand - where we should have autumn temperatures but instead still have temperatures in 20's, and grass burned from drought in the rural region that we live. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteTemperatures here are still way below the norm, with severe frosts overnight.
DeleteThey do make the garden sparkle but the poor daffodils are so confused and the tulips are still hibernating. Oh, for some of your sunshine which we are assured is on its way.
Hope your autumn arrives soon.
