  1. I can’t claim full credit for this! The first sweet pea is flowering but it’s self-sown from a seed that dropped last year. Those I’ve sown are still only inches high.

    Still, I’ll take it. Who cares how it arrived in the garden. It’s a taste of summer even though the weather has other ideas.

  15. A grand country manor sits amid a sweeping lawn and carefully tended borders, framed by wooden pergolas and blossoming spring greenery in the heart of the Cotswolds. The historic estate is surrounded by rolling hills near Stroud, with a tranquil avenue leading the eye towards the honey-stone house typical of the region’s architecture. Mature trees and artfully arranged plantings create a classic English garden setting, blending formal structure with natural beauty. Visitors to this serene landscape often enjoy the peaceful spring atmosphere and the charm of a traditional country manor garden. #Cotswolds #EnglishGardens #HistoricEstate #CountryManor #SpringLandscape

  20. "The Cotswold Way National Trail follows the Cotswolds escarpment with its stunning views and charming villages from the beautiful Cotswold market town of Chipping Campden in the north, to the World Heritage City of Bath in the south."

  21. Back when I heard Kerrin Egalka was leaving Compass Box and joining Cotswolds Distillery, I got curious. I didn't know much about English Whisky, but I have faith in Kerrin and figured Cotswolds must be doing something good if she was joining their team.

    So I picked some up at auction - and it was great. Of course, that meant I started hunting for other expressions, and now another wave has arrived.

    - Distillery Exclusive Madeira Cask
    - 2017 Odyssey Barley
    - Cotswolds Reserve
    - Spanish Oak Matured

    And a That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottling of a 3 year old Cotswolds.

  22. In the #Cotswolds are the quintessentially English villages known as ‘The Slaughters’ (Upper & Lower) & are exceptionally attractive. This circular walk starts at Naughton with its 16th Century dovecote & traverses pretty countryside. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/Cotsw

  23. Some family portraits from this morning, it’s really starting to feel like spring now.

  24. I've finally been getting around to some spring pruning and putting the Stihl battery-powered secateurs to the test. You can read about how I got on and my verdict on the blog: bit.ly/4rylAvu
    (Ad. Sent secateurs to trial. Not paid to post.)

    The building here, faced with the yellow stone of the Cotswolds region in England, and having a roof of slate tiles, lies beside a river. It was built in 1380 to store wool, and made into individual houses for weavers in the 17th.

    It’s now owned by the National Trust.

  26. It's rare for a gardening book to be both educational and entertaining. This is a gem. Read my review of Mary Keen's latest on the blog: bit.ly/4jZRn65

  27. I remember designer Mary Keen at a Snowdrop Study day where we were both speakers saying that among the best snowdrops for naturalising are ordinary Galanthus nivalis. She's right! These are from just a handful of bulbs and this is just part of the display along our drive, They've even 'hopped' over to the other side. A real mood-lifter in these gloomy days - both the weather and the news.

  28. I've been looking back at the 2025 veg gardening trials, the successes and the failures. It was a challenging season! Read about what I grew on the blog: bit.ly/4jEkVpQ

  29. An eight-page feature in The English Garden Magazine is a great way to start the new year.

    I'm looking at how the next generation are managing the historic Arts and Crafts garden at Rodmarton Manor. It was worth the dawn visit to get the pictures!

  30. One of my favourite memories from our trip to the UK this past year. Tewkesbury Abbey in the Cotswolds.

    We hadn't been back to the UK since 2007! Yes, just before the iPhone era unfolded. Back then we used "printed" Ordinance Survey Maps, direction of sun, and of course, just getting lost.

    The attached photo is from 2025.

  32. A peaceful woodland path winds through fresh spring greenery on the hills surrounding Stroud in the Cotswolds, with sunlight filtering gently through the trees. The trail is part of a classic countryside path, perfect for a slow #WoodlandWalk where birdsong and the rustle of leaves accompany the journey. In spring, the #NatureTrail bursts into life with carpets of wild plants beneath the beech and ash trees, creating a vibrant #SpringScenery backdrop. Popular with walkers exploring the #Cotswolds, it offers a serene escape into the rolling English countryside.
