Long time no see but in all honesty there wasn’t really anything going on other than I have really been struggling and trying to get Goy to work was really doing my head in so I didn’t bother, I did keep looking in though…..
I have to do things in easy stages now, never a day without pain, can’t walk very far, and stay away from hills and steps, no more spending all day in my garden but I’m not giving up, the cold made it even worse so now I just work when I’m having a reasonable day, its good for my mind and my body to care for my garden, can’t sit too long or I seize up, I’m still as stubborn as ever, I class my gardening as my exercise routine, truthfully hoovering hurts my back far more than cutting the lawn, think its the difference in the movement…
The garden never really closed down during the winter, some of the hellebores started flowering last September and still more to open….
Winter Jewels Clematis was full of flowers which lasted for a long time.
The yellow wallflowers also started to flower last autumn so I’ve had flowers blooming all the time ……
Come take a look with me….
My Photina is glowing in the sunshine..
Flowering Plum has been in full bloom….
Crabapple tree is doing really well, planted for Derek….
Bridal Wreath
Amelanchier, only been in two years…
Last is one taken from my bedroom window….

Hello Rose, Osteopenia is now showing up in my spine, causing me problems, already have Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid but now I'm in constant pain, have to live with it I'm afraid, still doing my garden though as you can see, its a case of adapting to how I do things....Dereks anniversary is May 5th, sometimes it feels like a long time and others only a few weeks but I still feel lost without him and yes I do have crying jags, often its silly things that set me off, I'm luckier than you though as I do have Sherryl living here and Juliet, Jason and Lizzie (granddaughter) around the corner from us....

I am so sorry about that Sue. I have a friend who has the same symptoms as you and she is in constant pain too.
You do well looking after your garden.
I know exactly how you feel after I lost Rick , I felt part of me had gone with him and the same as you, can burst into tears at the least little thing.
We have to just remember the happy memories we had with them.
Thinking of you. xx

Your garden looks lovely Lincslass. Sorry to hear about your problems but I have some similar troubles as well. Getting old and loosing mobility.

Your garden is beautiful Linclass. So sorry about your health problems, it must be awful to be in pain so much. I’m glad you are able to still do a bit out there & that you find it a comfort. Sounds as though you need to get some help with the grass mowing or any heavy jobs that crop up
in house or garden. Any chance of doing so? Best wishes.

Everywhere looks good Sue. I am like you, my garden is my exercise. Is it bad atheritis you have?
2 years today when my lovely Rick died, so went to our favourite cafe on the sea front with friends and family.
Still have weepy days. How are you now?
Take care and don't overdo it!
