Today I dropped in on the folk’s grave at Littlewick Green Church and put the barrel with the tulips down in place of the heather and grass barrel, that does the winter shift, to add a little bit of spring colour. It makes such a difference after a long winter. The next job will sowing
The hydrangea cuttings from Mum’s plant have now been in the pot kept in my kitchen for two and a half weeks. The good news as you can see from the two photos is that they are still looking healthy and growing. I’m really hoping that these will take, and even if it means keeping
Last Friday I went to see The Alarm play live in London. My first gig in over two years and what a fantastic evening it was. Well what is the phrase about all buses coming at once. I have now booked up to see them in Leeds on Friday night, so I will head up

This photo taken of Prince today makes me so happy! There are some wonderful walks at work, but since he was diagnosed with seven slipped discs four and a half years ago Prince hasn’t been able to do the walks he used to enjoy so much. In his younger days with his mum Storm, we
I have made much greater efforts over recent months to treat myself or reward myself even. If I am honest self-care had kind of gone off my radar for a while. I think even when I did buy myself something I wasn’t appreciating the deed and so I didn’t really feel as happy and positive
A sense of community has really hit home this week. So many kind people doing so many kind things. Today, I picked up a beautifully presented package at the post office kindly sent to me by Holly from Elysian Botonaicals. This lovely small family business offer a range of essential oil and botanical blends to
