This is the first of a series of posts - because you can never have too many better-makers.

In first place....

Sarcococca by my bed

Nice isn't it? Someone said the other day that they found the smell of Sarcococca overly sweet...I couldn't agree less.

In joint second place....

Narcissus 'Tete a Tete' standing sentry outside my house, my first snowdrop, Iris danfordiae and cake

The cake is this delight from the beauteous Debora who gave this post its name, and with whom I had lunch the other day, along with Mark. They are, together, the human personification of 'better-making', particularly when you add Boudin noir from here....just saying.

...and last (but only because there has to be a third... Hyacinths, because-in ones-they look rather sweet if you surround them with the detritus of everyday life...(and I have a lot of detritus).

More better-making things soon (I've been hard at it) x
