Check out The Perlan Museum if you're ever in Reykjavik.
It has a cool restaurant that rotates on the top. It gives you a really great view of the city and landscape.

Happy Monday! My little Christmas village is ready. The reindeer is waiting for fly agaric and obviously due to climate change there isn't as much snow as usual!

I’m not expecting to see many flowers or critters in Wisley’s Hilltop gardens this morning after all the rain and heavy frost but I will be looking! Meanwhile, here is a memory from warmer days for #SundayYellow 🌱

One of my tree memories from December 2009. I can’t remember where it was because it was before my phone helpfully recorded places but I think it might have been Scotland. It is such a beautiful tree.

2 Dec: In #Norse lore, Frigg watches over marriage, fertility & motherhood. When her son Baldr fell to a mistletoe arrow, she knelt beside him in grief. Her tears touched the bare sprig that struck him, and each drop turned into a white berry—a reminder to cherish those we love.

Morning it's a slightly soggy start but I am sure the reservoirs need the rain. I love how Mahonia brightens up a corner in a garden. Some clients don't like yellow and orange in the garden but what do you think?
