How Time Flies!

Firstly I must apologise for not being as active on here over the last year, the reason for which will be obvious as you read on

As some of you good people will know I had a few problems with the unsavoury people down at the Job Centre last Christmas and was feeling really down, but despite being 'told' I couldn't do it by them I signed off in February and became self employed as a gardener and selling ready planted containers and hanging baskets under the business name of Bilbo's Blooms.

Business picked up around Mother's Day in March and never stopped, I could have only have dreampt of the kind of year I have had, I have 15 regular gardens that I maintain and the planter side of the business has been hectic at times, whilst still being steady for the rest of the time. Whilst I'm not going to be a millionaire, we're comfortable and I'm so very happy with life right now, like a phoenix rising from the ashes I rose up from the depths of despair and people that were supposed to help putting me down and haven't looked back

Just this week I have made acquaintances with a woman who is a property developer that has been on a couple of tv shows, such as House Hunters, she's interested in using my planters to 'pretty' the outside of her houses for the hard sell, photos etc

Thank you again to all those that supported me at the time and offered me help and advice, I'll never forget it, we may never have met but you're all good friends

Here's a link to my new page on Facebook if anyone would like a look (the old one is still running but is just a group type page), hopefully I'll get round to creating a website at some point
