Another completely dry week here in the North West but the forecast is showing the start of a wet spell coming next week. The garden desperately needs it. We haven't cut our grass this year yet, unlike our neighbours who are now sporting a lovely straw coloured lawn! We'll probably cut it on Wednesday, just … Continue reading Six On Saturday – 17 May 2025

Six On Saturday – 10 May 2025
It's been a very dry couple of weeks here in the North West. Very chilly nights and not that warm during the day either but that is changing again from this weekend I think. I'm starting to water every couple of days, but for various reasons I've not planted much new stuff this year. The … Continue reading Six On Saturday – 10 May 2025

Where did summer go?
Another summer has nearly gone and I've not done any updates here. It's been a tough old spring and summer for me. I have been to almost as many funerals this year as I have in the rest of my life - losing so many family members and friends in such a short space of … Continue reading Where did summer go?
Six On Saturday – June 18
I haven't done one of these for a while, and this will be a quick one. I'm attending an online Menopause festival today - learning lots and remembering that my garden is the perfect place to go and take a breath when the realities of being a perimenopausal woman start to get me down. Six … Continue reading Six On Saturday – June 18

Six On Saturday – 22nd May 2021
Six on Saturday - a bit late today as I spent the morning in the garden and then a couple of hours watching Binfield FC in The FA Vase - sadly they didn't win but it was a good game and it was kind of surreal for me listening to the commentators talking about the … Continue reading Six On Saturday – 22nd May 2021
Six On Saturday, 15th May 2021
Here we are in the middle of May and my Facebook memories are mocking me with images of glorious sunny days this time last year. It's been very showery here in Liverpool this week, but thankfully it seems like the risk of frost has finally passed. It's cold overnight but nowhere near freezing. I ordered … Continue reading Six On Saturday, 15th May 2021
