Something you may have overlooked or forgotten? Time will tell :) Or maybe there was something about the whole process you need to experience again. Something you may have overlooked or forgotten?

It's lovely to have you here. I'm a bit techno challenged when it comes to sourcing photos to illustrate my posts so it's lucky that I like taking my own photos and painting pictures with words! If you check out the blogs of the people who comment here, too, you'll find I'm lucky to be part of a lovely, caring and talented community. I love blogs like yours, but I have to limit the time I spend in them or I could be happily sucked in and never get out - my kids would starve! Thank you so much! It’s lovely to have you here.

Thank you. I'm having to do some real heavy duty coaching with myself in my journals at the moment about my struggles to accept the devastation in my garden. Not one plant, bush or tree - except the disgusting Leylandii - has come out unscathed. Remember those flowering rhododendron bushes in the post I did about holidaying at home? Broken to ground level. And the jasmine? Gone. The laurels? Five years' worth of growth sheared off. Ten years worth of gardening wrecked by snowflakes in a matter of days. Maybe it's because I deliberately planned a garden with a future, one that left room for growth and slow blossoming and it's taken a decade to happen. Maybe it's because so much of the designing and planting and maintenance was therapy during some tough times and the way it all turned out was one of my minor triumphs. Or because the garden was a backdrop to years of happy memories with family and friends. My biggest lesson has been to accept the things I can't change. Beautifully put, Marc. Thank you.
