So to keep the momentum going a little – only a few days since I posted so not a lot to say or share but I feel like writing so write I will… Tomorrow I go on my first promise for new year resolutions of courses on things I want to get better at or have a go at or just fancy… Its Rose Pruning with experts from David Austin down at Burford Garden Co oh this place is a haven I adore – I am so excited and also rather nervous THB I am not sure why I am nervous as I have nothing to be nervous about really…

A late new year…
This is the first post of 2024 and its mid feb!!! I have kinda been writing posts in draft for a long long time and they aren’t getting finished or posted… Life is once again topsy turvey at the moment and I just don’t have a rhythm… I have been realising of late that I do so need a rhythm in my life – well it would make my life so much more how I would like it at the moment – there was a time when the thought of routine and same-ness filled me with dread and was nothing that I would wish for… contrary as I am this…

I am not keeping up with blogging every day – I almost feel good that I am not as really I obviously didn’t or couldn’t… I have achieved a lot this week and want to document it so I know that although I didn’t always show up as I should still I did show up for some of it… Mums Umbrella – down and packed away… done Car booked MOT -done Dentist booked – done Things off a shopping list – like loo rolls and foil and the likes… Storage paid – sounds mad but the amount of months I don’t paid and add to the IOU and then have…

Crochet Circles
Its been a long time… – so jump right back in… Its a Janie Crow design she did a blanket and shawl – Magic Circles – I am not sure what I am going to make yet… will it ever be anything – past history would indicate it becomes nothing except circles unfinished – but actually is that so bad if the making of each piece or part is a something for me – I feel I am putting to much pressure to be this thing that people expect or want – so I am just making the circles at the moment – oh don’t get me wrong I have…

PodCast
If you don’t listen to Let’s Grow Girls podcast you really should – but the new seasons start with David Hall talking about Dahlias is truly fantastic. ( I have to say most if not all of the podcasts from them are / is fantastic).

March End…
So the end of another month – to be honest Jan seemed so very very slow and now in stark contrast Feb and March have just flown past way way to quickly for my liking… what to do – nothing but go with it and try to learn from it and make the next few months go past at a more likeable pace. I have jumped up over the last few weeks and said hey you get a grip so I have started to think about my garden and tidying it up somewhat (its a real disaster – like the kind of disaster that when people show you their ‘real’…

Hellebores
Hellebores have become a firm favourite of mine especially a winter flower and I am going to try and start a collection of these winter beauties. I am trailing keeping them in pots and see how I get on and I am also considering trying growing them from seed… The photo below is from some flowers I cut from the garden and brought in to enjoy in the house. They make a wonderful bunches to bring indoors so I now have a growing list of ones I am hoping to get and now consistently on the look out to buy… these are more uncommon ones I am finding out… Sun…

Jan Article 1
A new year begins and as I get to publishing this article it is almost another new month. I find myself consumed with annoyance at this time of year that all we seem to want is to fast forward – warmer weather – longer daylight – the end of the terminal Jan with a billion days they say… I want to change that in myself and take Jan as a month to ponder what may come yes but not wish away this month in doing so – to take this month to rest and recharge after the December madness of rushing and preparing and worrying everything would be perfect. JOBS…
