A bare bones garden, watching for signs of resident bulbs (snowdrop, 'winter' narcissi mainly) with seasonal accent and colour through Hellebore/Lenten Rose and winter jasmine. Plenty of evergreen,hopefully berries etc and some grasses left with the 'dead growth' to act as foil. Cyclamen also done in by cold snap January and February, although minuscule signs of leaf stirring from the corms so fingers crossed. Cyclamen do very well in pots/window boxes here, with small evergreen bits and bobs. The previous two years are the first without narcissi bobbing above snow/frost New Years Day. Never had much luck with Primroses and viola/pansy in garden over winter.

Various views from around the Southend Area. Not a Kiss Me Quick hat in sight

Reclaimed from River Thames in the 19th Century, used for grazing until Flood '52. Bought by Council, used as local 'Tip'. Now a nature 'Reserve', consisting of two 'islands' dissected by access road. One side tidal saltmarsh, the other scrubland with natural 'lagoon'. Adder, buzzard, kestrel, tern, all sorts of gull, avocet, sparrowhawk, oh too many to mention. Common Seal Colony nearby. Wintering Brent Geese. Hadleigh Castle in background. Pretty cool place really. -
