gardening
I make no excuses for being a “winter”
person. I prefer the darker, shorter
days and colder weather. These days
anyway.
But with the advent of spring I
can at least look forward to the garden coming into bloom, the grass getting
greener and thousands of insects, bees and spiders invading. In fact, last autumn I installed a bug hotel
in the garden to attract them all in.
And of course, the wonderful “Gardener’s
World” is back on the TV.
Now although I enjoy seeing my
garden in all its glory, I’m unfortunately no longer able to do much in the way
of any gardening. In fact, it’s taken me
6 months or so to lay around 30 patio slabs such is my back pain and consequent
lack of strength these days. And any
planting is confined to pots, though this means we can have a far wider choice
of plants which is nice.
The thing I enjoy most about the
garden though is taking photographs of it.
Not now when there’s not much to see but in the middle of the summer there’s
nothing I like more than a back-garden safari capturing the flowers and
insects.
So, although I prefer to be able
to wrap up warm against the cold, I’m sort of looking forward to July and
August when we might, just might, catch a sunny day.
my 6 month labour of love
I LOVE your patio!! What a lovely space to enjoy a spring/summer day and a cuppa! Job well done!!
