The Rhode to nowhere…

Whilst adding hedgerows, digging ponds, reinvigorating woodlands are all satisfying activities, they are all diversions from the fundamentals here at Little Acre. Although the front garden, paddock, kitchen garden and woodland are relative blank canvases (mass clearance aside), the main garden, in its prime, would have been a lush display of perennials, trees, shrubs and […]

Don’t Fence Me In…

Fences – the one thing Little Acre is not short of is fences! The previous owners dabbled in the world of dog breeding and as such created the garden in such a way that each area could be separated from the other (allowing the dogs to go outside yet be kept apart if required). From […]

Seeing the wood for the trees

Living on the edge of the South Downs National Park when you see a woodland you can often be mistaken for thinking its always been there. That the surrounding fields, houses and roads had been carved in and around the trees. So, to find original planting plans and photos for our small section of wood, […]

Ooo I do love a bit of cedar cladding 😉....nice to see a design coming to life (torrential rain aside!). #gardendesign #gardentextures #cedarcladding #gardens #rainraingoaway
Gorgeous run across the heathland this morning. A light dusting of snow christened the ground as the rising sun danced patterns across the broken clouds allowing glimpses of the blue sky beneath. #stopandbreathe #morningrun #mindfulness #goodforthesoul #findpeaceinthelittlethings #startthedayright
Just to jump on the frost photo bandwagon.....grabbed the thermals and headed out into the heathland this morning. As Sunday mornings go there’s no better way to set you up for the day. Love how the gorse flowers come into their own amongst the frost, adding a much needed highlight to the landscape. #natureisawesome #sundaywalks #heathland #frostylandscape #frost #landscapephotography #gorse #winterflowers #stopandbreathe
