Happy New Year.

Winter visited Our Garden@19 towards the end of 2020.

Flowering in the house and keeping warm is the Christmas Cactus.

From the bathroom window we can see the snow-capped Malvern Hills.

Thaw.

Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed

The speculating rooks at their nests cawed

And saw from elm-tops, delicate as flower of grass,

What we below could not see, Winter pass.

Thank you for visiting Brimfields.com during 2020, hopefully, some of you may be able to visit the garden in person later this year if we are able to open for the village church funds in May.

  1. A Happy New Year, Brian. A dusting of snow makes the garden a different place. We are cold here but no snow. Our internet is not good enough to enjoy the video though. Amelia

  2. Happy New Year Brian.
    Love the Christmas cactus. I’ve never seen one that colour, it’s gorgeous. And seasonally appropriate blooming too. I had a pink one for many years.. which always came out for Firework night!
