    1. I was so disappointed! We had a weird winter for weather and I think that had a lot to do with the blueberries dying.

  4. Do not give up things will come yet. as my husband says patience and a bit of babying and all your plants will come back. I had a columbine blow over and break off during one of our wind storms and it is slowly coming back.

    God bless.

  5. Oh dear that's a big difference from last year. It's hard to beat Mother Nature though, she's a tough old cookie! Hope you and all the family are keeping well. xx

    1. Hi Suzanne, we're all doing well in our little bubbles. Trying to avoid the idiots that think this is all a conspiracy, hoax, a little flu or whatever. I'm quite happy staying at home, puttering in my sad garden and going for walks.Hoping you are all well, when will Thomas and Amy go back to school?

    2. We're all good thanks. We've been able to return to the caravan so that's lifted our spirits.

      Thomas is due to go back to school in September and his bubble is his year group of 250 pupils! If one pupil shows any signs of the virus though the whole bubble has to go in LD for 2 weeks. I have a feeling there will be quite a few pupils with 'symptoms' lol.

      Amy isn't due to go back until the end of September but Universities seem to be more inclined to continue on line studies, so we'll have to see. Really glad to hear you're all keeping well. xx
