Friday Seedlings

Spring to Summer!

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a lovely week. Mine’s been blissfully quiet, mostly pottering about in the greenhouse (more on that saga later!), walking in the bluebells and spending time with the boys, supervising GCSE revision before the new school term kicks off again.

This spring, though, is behaving like it can’t quite make up its mind - one minute it’s winter, the next it’s practically summer; I’m finding it thoroughly discombobulating. It’s also turning getting dressed into a daily guessing game! At one point, I was helicopter-parenting my tulips, desperately trying to shield them from golf ball–sized hailstones and five minutes later, I was back inside reapplying factor 50 like I was on a beach holiday.

In this week’s dispatch I share what I’m loving this week; my new glasses, the favourite tulips in my garden, what’s going down in the greenhouse, a stripy summery co-ord, the kaftan of dreams & more…

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Love, Willow x
