BLUEBELLS

It is bluebell time again and the woods smell mmmm.......

Sunny, warm weather and the hens are keeping cool in the herb garden.

SNOWDROPS

It is snowdrop time at Lyndale again. They first appeared at Christmas now there are carpets of them under the trees. Today is a lovely clear, still January day I have just had a walk down to the shore and then up to look out to the Outer Isles, much needed after the wind and rain! 

STAR GAZING

Lyndale would be hard to beat for dark skies. Sit out around the fire bowl on a clear night with a glass of something warming to enjoy a special night under the stars. Hurry, book a winter short break now before the days get too long.
