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
Six On Saturday
This is my first time taking part in Six on Saturday. It's a kind of gardening round robin that I found on a great blog called The Propagator. The general idea is to do a round up of six things in your garden. Not sure I'll remember to do it every week but I'm going … Continue reading Six On Saturday
April is here
Here we are in April. The spring bulbs have been glorious. I planted crocus, tulips and daffodils back in October and November and they have been so beautiful. They're nearly all gone now but we've had 6 weeks of fabulous colour. I think we're going to dig up the bulbs and store them away till … Continue reading April is here
