If it’s your bag Spring is the time of endless emails and post from gardening websites. It works too as I want to buy everything! Not this year though. Definitely not. Last year I grew stuff for both neighbours. Herbs for the one who loves cooking, flowers for our communal…

Nature knows
Across the road from me is a cemetery that I love to walk the dogs in. some of the graves are pretty old and there are mausoleums that hold families from when this area was rich in industry. I’ve seen Roebuck deer and foxes during the daytime and plenty of…
