Garden Plan – Part 1 and a little allotment time
Hooray, we made it to the allotment and it looked ok even though it’s been a while. It might not have missed me as much as I have missed it but I left with a lighter, happier soul: Brace yourself, things are about to get ugly…. Now for some good news on the garden project…

Plan….E..F…I’ve lost count
Well there’s another week with no allotment visit. Between the weather and our health it just wasn’t possible so I busied myself with other smaller plans and tasks but ran into a problem. Again. I have one of those plastic tunnel/green house things at the allotment – what should I call that thing? It isn’t…

Jobs done, jobs to do – repeat
I hope you have managed to see my other posts this week and enjoyed the music, videos and jokes I have shared with you. It seemed a nice way to show you what I have found without moaning all week about how crap I feel….still!! Never mind, life goes on – and so does the…

If you like dogs….
I told you in yesterday’s post that I want to share some youtube finds with you so today I’m bringing you someone who might be known to some of you but is new to me. In his series called ‘Sitting with dogs’, Rocky Kanaka goes to his local animal shelter and spends time sitting with…

His name is Livingston
There are a couple of people I have come across on Youtube recently who I would really love to share with you. The first one is a young man with a huge talent. His name is (Drake) Livingston and I have spent the last weekend listening to his music which I can’t get out of…

Easter Sunday Walk
Normally Dearest Son and I go somewhere for a picnic on Easter Sunday, but I still don’t feel 100% and now he has come down with a bit of what I’ve had all week so we decided a little walk around the river and woods would fit the bill. This of course, was a good…

Raw garlic and honey….
At this point, I am practically bathing in these two natural delights. Don’t worry, this isn’t a ‘poor me’ post – quite the opposite in fact, well almost. I have been trying lately to post a poem for Fridays but this week wasn’t entirely conducive to poetry writing so I thought I’d do a quick…

Keeping my chin(s) up
Today’s post might not be very long – I am a little under the weather. Actually I’m also sick of the weather. I woke up the other day and had ‘that’ feeling – the one I know all too well. It means the house isn’t going to be tidy, meals aren’t going to be great…

Why gardeners need to be resilient
Not that long ago, I did a post about the indoor propagation I had done with some house plants and a lovely little rosemary plant which had shown good spring growth. The good news is that the house plants and the rosemary plant are doing well. Now for the bad news: I had put the…

Is it difficult or am I just dim?
The headline of today’s post will let you know I’ve tried to do something and failed miserably, again. I have mentioned once or twice before that I am not a technically minded specimen. I like what some of it can do but I have to accept the fact it won’t be doing anything I tell…

More than just St. Patrick’s Day
Wishing everyone a very happy St Patrick’s Day! And wishing you a very happy birthday Mum – I still miss you, despite everything.

Keeping life in balance
The saying goes “things happen in 3s”, but I disagree – I think life has more balance to it than that but not everybody will see it if they keep looking in the wrong place. If you believe the rule of 3, when one bad thing happens, you go through each day looking for the…
