Today as daft as it may sound , I ventured out of my front door and actually went to a shop ! First time for 3 weeks. Have tried to keep occupied indoors and in the garden but can only do what the poor old worn out body finds acceptable , so the garden still looks like a jungle but the foxes like it ( 2 at the moment ) and I watch them as often as possible. What a sad life x
I just hope everyone stays well and that this will soon be over so we can all get to see family and friends again.
Well we are back in lock down again, but still here thankfully. Our garden has been an absolute delight since March. My wife spent hours filming multitudes of bees and butterflies on her little phone camera. And flowers have been amazing. We had some plants delivered on Easter Monday from a nursery and they have given pleasure all summer.We have had foxes, squirrels, all sorts of birds and insects.
We even celebrated VE day in garden with Union Jacks around our summer house and up the steps. We joined in with our family in Cheshire via this wonderful Zoom, and we were all able to eat tea virtually together, and even play Bingo with them via zoom.Monty Don said in the last edition of Gardening World that "normally we look after our gardens, but this year, our gardens have looked after us!" So true.
Six months at home was not so bad. If it was moveable I tidied it, if it was fixed I painted it. Hence a painted patio and a garden shed that has never been so tidy before!!
Keep safe again during this lock down.
