The plants are outside now and coming along nicely. We’ve had a fair bit of rain over the last week so this tomato plant is now looking much bigger and greener. All the plants are! I’ve also had a few disappointments. We have a lot of snails and slugs in a very small space, and …

Lighter nights make for long evening walks – and the sleepy sunlight was beautiful tonight. This is the perfect walk for Social Distancing – the path is 2 metres wide!
30th April 2020
I love vegetable gardening but we don’t have the space. This year one of my neighbours has set a challenge, and a group of us are having fun growing what we can (in what we can). It hasn’t been easy to get hold of the seeds I’d like to plant but that might not be …
Serendipity
Hello Everyone. How are you all coping with this weird world we’ve suddenly found ourselves living in? This is me – dusting off my neglected blog space and allowing myself to meander and play.

I have spent a couple of very busy weeks shopping for Christmas gifts for the people closest to me. I now only have a couple of days left to organise myself and get ready for the hospital and my hip replacement operation. Before I have the operation I wanted to come on the blog and …
Hip Hop
I think that I’ve mentioned my painful hip before? Well, in July I found out that I will need a total hip replacement and this totally silenced me. I didn’t know how to talk about it – didn’t really want to talk about it – but since the whole issue has occupied 100% of my …
How to lose 100lbs – going through a rocky patch
Does my bum look big in this? (such an odd shaped shadow). The sky was blue, the sun was warm, but when we got to the beach the wind was bitterly ice cold so I was glad of the old fleece jacket I keep in the car for such occasions. It’s only four sizes too …
