Is November already over ! Autumn’s really had us in its grasp, and now we’re on the cusp of winter, Christmas! Slow down they say, as winter is here but so much to do out side from rubbing down garden furniture to planting next years tulips.

Getting your hands not just dirty but filthy. With our mild winters, this is the time of year when juvenile hedgehogs make an appearance in our gardens. We can help them to survive by making our gardens a little more hedgehog friendly by leaving piles of leaf litter and logs around the garden. These make good nests and also provide homes for the slugs and beetles that hedgehogs like to eat. Weather is what defines Winter. The joy of a crisp, bright day, just right for walking among the Autumn/winter colours. Empty beaches with the waves crashing the shore line. Wrapping up warm on cold nights star gazing while the fire pit spits and crackers.

On a rainy afternoons, will you hole up on the sofa with home made hot chocolate and read that book you’ve been meaning to finish. Changing your mind on the look of your home ! I love this time of year it brings out the designer head in me as I love for my guest to return to www.lowerbarns.co.uk to find new and old things I’ve managed to source and Mike dare I say Sheds !
