Garden 2015.

Well, whatever has been happening, we've missed you. And its lovely to see your prizewinning plot on here again! Hope you are well, keep gardening! X

Hi Cinders,lovely to see you again..your garden is looking lovely,as always,and same as Karen,you have been missed ..take care ..xxx

Thank you both for your comments, (nice to be missed). Just so many other things to think about really, problems with daughter early in year, a breakdown, and of course mum helped with that, which meant being away from home. Then recently a complete refurb in the kitchen, and clearing out everything - where does all this 'stuff' come from. I am not putting everything back, so now have to sort things for charity shops and the tip. Karen and Sandra, have missed you too, nice to know you are still around, we have lost so many on the site haven't we.

Nice to see u back, your garden is looking lovely..

miss you, visit when you can

Same as Brian says. Visit when you can. Life is tough at times. :) x

These things happen,Cinders..but mum's are always there,if possible :o)I hope you are happy with your new kitchen,and be strict with stuff you never use..easy for me to say,as most things go back..just in case,and they are still unused :o) xxx

Thank you Holly, its nice to be back, if only occasionally.

Hi Brian, thank you, didn't know you cared !! Ha ha. I have been popping in on occasion, your garden is still lovely.
Karen, I will come on when I can, there seems so much to think about just now.

Hi Sandra, must catch up with you sometime, I believe there is good news.

I hope the things that have been happening have been nice things :)
Your garden is as pretty as ever !

'thank you Hywel , its nice to know you are still on here too. I had family problems, plus all sorts of things happening in my home, nice things, like a new kitchen etc.

I've missed several weeks on here recently myself, but back now ...
We've been having things done to the house too - to make it easier now that Beryl is more disabled.
It must be nice to have a new kitchen :)
I hope your family problems are sorted out.

Yes Hywel, its lovely having a new kitchen, and it really is everything new, it was completely gutted, so lots of new things to get used to, and drawers in different places etc. !! Thank you for asking about family, it was my daughter, she had a breakdown, but thankfully now seems on the mend.

Thanks HB, lovely to hear from you too. When I knew the kitchen was going to be done I started moving things out, but then it didn't get done as soon as I had hoped but I didn't miss the things that had been packed away either. So now I haven't put them back, but shall have to find a home for them. Probably a charity shop. Everything else has been on the backburner !!

Sorry to hear of your problems Cinders hope that your daughter has made a full recovery, Its good to have you back again, your garden looks stunning as always ;0))

Thank you Carol, hopefully my daughter is well on the mend, but you can never tell with this sort of thing, it only needs some little thing to trigger it off again. Its like walking on eggshells, but she is doing well at the moment as I have got her interested in doing the garden and growing her own veg. Fingers crossed. Thank you for your concern.

So sorry to hear about your daughter, I hope she can stay strong, and as HB says gardening is great therapy, as is painting and cooking!!
So pleased to see that your garden is as pretty as ever, and do enjoy your new kitchen, having something new done in the house certainly lifts the spitits, and takes our minds off other matters.....good to see you back;-) ✌:-D B-)

Thanks HB, I agree.

Thank you DD, I have managed to get her interested in both. She never did a lot of cooking, but I think while I was staying with her I managed to convey the pleasure of growing and cooking your own, and she is doing well with both now, so I feel we have turned a corner.
Its good to be back DD, and I am enjoying the new kitchen, and decorators coming on Tuesday to make a start on living room.
Gardening - well I am gradually getting things up together again, but I grow for our Country Market as well, so there's rather a lot of potting up to do.

I love your garden and was so happy to see your name in the 'listings!!'

Hope things are becoming more settled for you and that life becomes easier and happier from now on.

Welcome back.

That's very kind Wildrose, thank you. I am feeling more optimistic now, and thanks for the comments about my garden. I am finding it harder as each year comes around to keep it looking nice, and have probably slowed down a bit too. !!

You are not the only one!!

Your garden looks lovely as always, sorry to hear about your daughters ill health but glad to hear she is getting better, gardening is a good therapy x

Thank you Nana, I am pleased to say that my daughter is doing very well now, still having counselling, but the main healer has been the garden. She has thrown herself into growing her own vegetables, and is so excited about it all. I went to see her yesterday and was very impressed with her garden.

Just been looking through all your photo's Cinders,and you garden is looking wonderful..I'm hoping to be back soon,after having a weeks holiday,and other things happening since..Sorry,I've only added likes on your pics,and your Clems and Roses are beautiful...So glad your daughter is on the up,and she has benefited from finding solace from her gardening..No doubt your encouragement has helped a lot..xxx
