I just love the way the setting sun set this tree alight (not literally obviously 😊) Looking forward to the lighter evenings to come for our walks and work in the kitchen garden which feels ever more vital in these strange times . . #newsimplelife #mymonthontheplot #sunset #springevening #tree #beautyinnature #dailywalk
#lazysunday Made some soups with the last of the winter root veg but otherwise had a lazy day. Calamity and Jasmine have the right idea! . . #newsimplelife #rescuecat #catsofinstagram #catsprotection #oldcat #sleepingcat #cuddlycat #rspca #greyandwhitecatsofinstagram #tortoiseshellcat #tortoiseshellcatsofinstagram #greyandwhitecat
I have been staying off social media recently, needing to limit a bit what is going into my over-active brain for my own sanity. So unfortunately I have missed most of March's #mymonthontheplot challenge. I gather yesterday was #peace and that is certainly what I find on my daily post-work walk up the lane. I hope you are staying safe and sane out there! . . #newsimplelife #mindfulliving #stayingsane #dailywalk #sunset #springevening
Day 9 - footwear. The crocs probably aren't the most practical as my feet end up wet or full of soil but they are my go-to #footwear for gardening in! . . #newsimplelife #mymonthontheplot #growyourown #growingvegetables #mygardentoday #instagarden #gyo #kitchengarden #homeallotment #growingfood #crocs #comfyshoes #gardeninghashtagchallenge #dailyprompts #instachallenge
Couldn't resist having a play with the photo of the goldenrod seeds. Was quite proud of this one - very arty! . . #newsimplelife #mymonthontheplot #snapseed #gardenphotography #plantphotography #artyshot #blackandwhitephotography
Yay, I am up to date! Day 8 is #signsofspring and they are everywhere. The forsythia is in bloom, the pussy willow is full of catkins, the rhubarb is so splendid I had to include a closeup of that extra curly leaf and even the moss on the drystone wall is flowering. It was a happy, happy day when I took a walk up the garden and took these pics and that's why I love this challenge so much - it makes me stop, take some time and really look 😊 . . #newsimplelife #mygardentoday #lovetogarden #dailyprompts #instachallenge #instagarden #gardeninghashtagchallenge #gardensofinstagram #instagardening #springiscoming #springgarden
