Well, I am sat here making plans…. New Year and all that! Lucky old us had a weeks holiday after the madness of Christmas. A chance for lazy mornings in bed, long lunches discussing plans for the future, and quite frankly a lot of shopping! So we started the New Year with a good spring…
We commented to each other today, that days no longer have names, we are quite frankly not sure of our own names at times and taking orders without enough caffiene inside of you is a bit of a struggle!! Ahhh but I hear you say its only 7 more days till the big one!! This…
Well, following on with this festive theme, one can’t help but worry about how 3 french hens might survive in this delightfully cold weather! We have hit minus 4 in the workshop so far, but I’m sure it will go lower than that!! Anyway enough about the weather and more about the rather gorgeous designs…
Mmmm coasting through google I found some rather lovely pictures of turtle doves…but then found a rather more amusing picture that seemed to fit even more into the festive period.

Now I know, I know. Those are not the words, but I happened across a rather yummy recipe for pear & cranberry chutney and it got me thinking about the 12 days of the festive period that we are nearly upon. We don’t have a pear tree but two rather nice bay trees sit outside…

Well, its been a rather varied weekend. Weather wise and all :)….looking back through the photos taken, I thought I would just download a whole lot and let you the viewer enjoy!! These amaryllis are quite frankly sensational, they are currently being enjoyed by customers at Hartley Farm shop (aren’t we nice) These will be…
Now as the title may suggest we are going nostalgic, oh yes we are. I don’t know about where you live but the Autumn colours this year are quite frankly gorgeous!!! As I drive to work along the country lanes I can’t help but see the season in all its glory.But as the photo suggests…
Well, now I dispelled all the rubbish about helping cut flowers survive in your home, I move onto plants! To be honest this is a slightly amusing topic for me to touch on as those who know me know that plants really don’t survive that long in my house! But fret not before you fall…
I brought some rather gorgeous ‘largo’ parrot tulips home this weekend from work and it got me thinking how often I take flowers to friends and watch them plonk them in a vase or pop them in the sink till they get round to sorting them out. So my thought was to create a helpful…
