One good intention that has so far fallen flat is the one about doing a bit more blogging while in theory I have more time to do it and readers more time to read it. I have excuses, the weather was too good and my allotment is a mess after a winter of doing nothing;…
I am just so thankful that I have a decent sized garden to keep me occupied, distracted, isolated and sane. It's all been said, I'll move on. If there's one thing in the garden that will lift your spirits it's flowers and by good fortune the weather has taken a turn for the better this…
