There’s a profusion of violets in the garden at the moment, and I was delighted to find this morning that the viburnum (possibly the variety viburnum burkwoodii Anne Russell) is beginning to flower. Perfect for the the tiny china vases I found in a Red Cross charity shop this week. I also picked some wintersweet to put in one of two smoky glass vases which were op shop finds several years ago. Simple things like this (and the UK magazine so titled) bring me calmness and delight.

I’ve also been delighting in the profusion of violets this year.

I read somewhere about a gardener who refused to have them in her garden because they spread so much. That’s the point, though, isn’t it?!
