This is a very satisfying time of year to be a gardener! Everything is blooming. I can see my lupin is about to come out, despite a wabbit having nibbled the primary stem....I may still get a partial bloom on that spike.

My garden is a semi wilderness but that's how I like it. Lots of roses, lavender, daisies, foxgloves, fuchsias, sage and rosemary, all sorts!

WHoa.....looks like a beautiful cephalopod.....I wonder if it's any relation to Freesias? They have that same waxy delicacy. It must be fabulous for you to now grown your own and potter in the garden! I dearly love to potter. I spend hours doing it just admiring everything
![]() I can't do much yet but i have the world's smallest watering can that holds a litre (can't carry anything heavier) so i love the watering time (it takes about 20-30 trips!) every pot gets it's time of dead heading and making sure all is well!!! it's lovely. Even sitting with my camera is lovely.... |

You do appreciate the small things of life having been unable to access them. When young I was seven weeks in bed, two of them in a hospital ward, and as soon as I was out I made the then husband stop the car so I could get out and hug a tree. I thought I would never see a tree again. And of course, you were banged up for vastly longer!!!

I think it's imperative to take the time to see the beauty, to feed your soul, to aid you through the tough times. Even looking out the window at my mum's at the cows or photographing flowers people brought me (my mum was so sweet she was obsessive about me having lovely flowers to look at!) was soul food really losing oneself in the exquisite beauty if it all....it's a valuable lesson to learn i think....stays with you forever....as you know from your experience. 22 months though dunno how i lasted!!!

You do appreciate things more if you've suffered a bit. I notice this with people and also with myself. It teaches you many things. You could become a guru for people in a similar position, write a guidance book for how to cope [and make a tidy bit of dosh in so doing

are the internets playing hide and seek with you tk?
Had usual Sunday night egg and chips, followed by a shared ice cream with choccy sauce (t shirt now in wash, dropped ketchup and ice cream down it). On way home we called into the graveyard where mrtk's parents are buried and tidied up the grave, so a productive day all round. Loved your pics, the hedgerows here are blooming with cow parsley. When we lived in UK, did everything to try and grow in the garden, but it never worked. The suggestion twass made about a book sounds brilliant, I would buy it. |

It's weird you and Twass say that, my GP has been gong on at me for a few years now to write something. I wrote him a short story framed as doctor's presentation of a new disease would look if presented to the Lancet , half way through being ill; he found it really funny and has been on at me ever since to write a book! i started before my last big op but ever since my brain hasn't worked and i've lost words (i recently wondered if i'd had a mini stroke and no one told me ) then the pages i had written disappeared during my disastrous hard drive suicide....

Don't be discouraged! I think you have been heavily medicated, and you could do it. I know you have cheered me up at some dark times xx |
