Hellebore

The first flower of 2024 has appeared!  Although how anything bloomed today after the dreadful Storm Henk yesterday is beyond me! Thankfully our garden stood up well to the very strong winds, although our neighbours plastic owl on their patio - that they put up to scare birds away! - got blown off... what a shame haha!!

And a lovely sunny morning lured us out to Southend for a spot of shopping - Mum wanted to pick up half price Christmas cards ready for Xmas 2024!  Lots of bargains to be had in the cards shops!

A mixed afternoon now of sunshine and showers so I'm cracking on with some new year decluttering - again!! - and trying to get some form of organisation with my crafting stash!
