Well we may have told a small fib - Spring isn't quite on its way, but we're doing our best to jolly things up a little in the shop with tons of spring bulbs. If you're after your Spring hit, well we may just be the place to poke your nose in and have a look around.

January is a funny old month. All the decorations are down, the house is looking bare. For some that's the joy of January, a fresh start, but secretly I'm yearning for the glitz and glamour of all the twinkle lights and beautiful jewel toned decorations (or maybe a toned down version of the mentioned anyway)

This yearning for decoration inevitably ends up with an influx of bulbs, all shapes and sizes, all colours, and our mantlepieces and windowsills at home and in the shop are suddenly filled to the brim with the hope and expectation of Spring.

How can one fail to love bulbs. They are completely magical, that one small bulbous thing, holding the power to create such beauty and scent. And self sufficient too, all the nutrients required hauled up in the shell, until they are required.

There is nothing quite like breathing in the scent of narcissi when the Winter still seems long, and the threat of snow is still present. In fact I would go as far to say it is quite heavenly!

Go forth and fill your home with narcissi, don't try to resist the powers of new beginnings and the magic that comes along with them!
