About me

My philosophy of life is to be kind, laugh, pray and allow everyone, including myself, to have bad days. I believe it is important to take time to appreciate the good things around me every day.

I love playing the piano, swimming – especially in the sea in summer, dancing around the kitchen whilst clapping and singing loudly (much to our two teenage daughters’ distress), walking in the Suffolk countryside and by the coast and escaping into a good book.

I am domestically challenged, especially when it comes to cooking. I have a ridiculous belief that I can fit more into the day than is ever possible. In order to manage this notion I find that I cannot live without lists . . . . . but I have a habit of losing the list!

Above all, love makes my world go around. I feel blessed to be surrounded by family, young and old, true friends and my four-legged companions with wagging tails.

Hello

My name is Ruth Goudy. I write regularly on social media and I would love you to join the conversation. Flowers are here to be enjoyed and shared. I always appreciate comments on my blogs and posts. Maybe it is a certain flower's meaning to you, a memory of your relatives talking about flowers or even a poem to share. All of it is interesting and important to our enjoyment and understanding of flowers. Thank you.

Today, while counting perennials for the stocktake Today, while counting perennials for the stocktake @kilnfarm, I was rewarded by finding this beautiful anemone. It was nestling unobtrusively among the perennials, most of which are still bare pots.

I am so looking forward to seeing them in full flower in the warmth and bright light of summer.
Alliums are examples of flowers that make us feel good because there is a mathematical perfection about them. Each floret is symmetrical and they all join up to form a perfect sphere.
