The Ice Queen Cometh!




At last the Ice Queen has arrived! Today the garden is sparkling under her reign, soft flower heads have frozen under the touch of her icy fingers.  Perfectly formed roses, a rare sight in January, are encrusted with multi-faceted crystals, their crimson bonnets trimmed with an icy downe.  The surreal combination of deep winter frost on a garden that has forgotten to sleep is mesmerising.  Today it is  time to wrap up warm & immerse myself in this winter wonderland.
