    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…

  • How has your week been?

    I’m not sure how I would describe this week, it’s been a real mixed bag of highs and lows. I have had to try extra hard to find the silver lining, the brighter side of life, which is something I always try to do these days. The home-schooling is going along nicely and we are…

    This is a poem I wrote a long time ago and I questioned whether or not I should post it here. I don’t remember what was happening at the time when I wrote it but I though it might be helpful to someone going through a rough patch – to know it is possible to come…
