They are really beautiful and very artistic @TallTrees 

Sadly, I have nothing to share from my garden this winter.

Last year I had some lovely lights along the pergola, fences and pots, (with winter pansies and polyanthus) but we had a change of new shrubs this year, so currently I am very limited. No winter perennials although I'm expecting the shrubs to be better next year. Even my new camellia has let me down! 

Also my winter jasmine has gone this year, as we had to chop it right back as it brought the fence down.

So sad as it was 19 years old.

Hi @Cleoriff 

Gardening is just as you described.  New shrubs take time to settle in. Cutting back a jasmine also needs to rejuvenate.  I wanted some flowers for the jug and bought some a few times but when saw how lovely and seasonal these were I arranged them into this jug.

No berries on our holly this year - fantastic crop last year though...

Thank you.

The hedge stretches almost the full length of the front of the house, that's only about a 3rd of it in the picture.

Knock, knock!

Who’s there?

Holly.

Holly who?

Holly-days are my favorite.

How do Christmas trees get ready for a night out?

They spruce up!
