getting to the end of this awful week alive and greatful that the grandchildren have been returned and that in turn means the siblings have been reunited

 

For those who need cheering up at the moment. Perhaps we can banish the winter blues by reviving this thread.

In one of those pleasant surprises which gardening sometimes provides, last weekend, while replacing the fence panels damaged in the storms, I discovered a sturdy looking rowan tree sapling hidden away behind the bushes, growing right next to the fence.

It must have been there for about two or three years, it's already reached a height of about 4/5ft and is probably a gift from the blackbirds I often see feasting on the large rowan in my front garden.

So, I carefully dug it out and replanted it in my wild area at the bottom of the garden where hopefully it will thrive for many years. Nature takes, and nature gives back it seems.

So come on, who else has some good news to share?

 

Well all my house stuff is sold and now I am officially "on the road" though have not got far as yet only Wolverhampton, but hope to be heading for Scotland and maybe a view of the Northern Lights if I am lucky

Check out my travel journal to see what I have been up to

Thanks for that Shiney - one or two folks have said they enjoyed it and so it might be worth looking into. I started it as so many friends said - let us know where you are and what you are up to and it seemed the easiest way to keep everyone up to date, but so far I am enjoying the writing and it might be exciting to publish a book

 

feeling more human than i have in ever so long, so today im getting tools out to finish some odd jobs in my kitchen
