How refreshing to be assailed by an unexpected and sweet fragrance on a cold winters day.
Sarcococca also known as Christmas Box or Winter Box....one of my favourite plants in the garden with its dark green foliage, shiny black berries and creamy white scented flowers. (Picture from Sarah and Mike’s garden)

Snowdrops pictured at the Old Brew House
Ah hush! Tread softly through the rime,
For there will be a blackbird singing, or a thrush
Like coloured beads the elm buds flush:
All the trees dream of leaves and flowers and light
And see! The northern bank is much more white
Than frosty grass, for now is snowdrop time
Mary Webb, ‘Snowdrop time’
Mature trees and a beautifully structured Winter garden at Brooklands with Box globes and Bay trees and also a gorgeously scented garden with evergreen Daphne.
