I am going to have a go at digging in the garden. That way I get to have a little bit of exercise.Will come back here and say how things went.

Just mentioned your garden on your other post. Hope you managed a little bit digging. You do right to try fresh air.

Spent some time in our garden yesterday just tidying and then sitting back appreciating what we had done.

Keep us posted. Chris xx

Dear Chris,
thank you for your post.
I admire you in that you can sit in your garden and enjoy it.
This is a good thing.

Perhaps I could create a place where I could go and sit.
It is mostly a vegetable and things to do garden.

I do have a deck chair and a foldable table...
I have screened off the neighbours with 2 plastic green houses...otherwise there was little privacy.

The good thing is that my partner put a bird table up for me and now I know how to discorage the cats (tea tree oil) maybe I could sit and watch the birds. not the pigeons as they have eaten the peas and beans that I sowed and I am having to start again with the runner beans.

I do want to make a giant bird out of old dvds, cds and wire.

still poorly, never mind hey?

p.s.
there are gooseberries in the garden, just a few and there will be a few pounds of raspberries later, I hope. its a very small patch. I have soft fruit on one side and potatoes on the other side.
the patch needs some compost but I am scared of the toad - so have not been near the compost

Gooseberry pie yum actually my husband's favourite. Have not had that since my dad had to let the allotment go.

You made me smile with the ' scared of the toad ' bit. What is it? Slippery, knobbly or jumpy that frightens you?

Have you thought of pelting it with the gooseberries

Dear Chris,
I am scared of any sudden movements from the toad. and there are frogs and they can jump up at a person ---and I do not like that at all. and the toad is camouflaged, so, I might accidentally step on it and then it might jump up and jump on me, then I will have all slime on me.
Then i really would be distressed and ...
(this bit is a joke)
....I might turn into a toad myself....

Dear Chris,

More garden news...
The raspberries are starting to ripen now. I went out and had a few...all to myself, as I grew them after all.
Gooseberry pie is lush, I have to agree.

What about your news- are you growing anything just now?

Re the Toad,
I am honestly thinking of asking someone to take it to the woods or to near the little stream or to the allotments that are near here.
I have looked at the allotments - they look like hard work
your dad must have been a real enthusiast.

Best wishes
B
