A disappearing dog and a trip away.

Monday 14th November 2022: Time seems to be whizzing by 🙄 A dank and foggy morning this morning but we are due heavy rain at some point over the next couple of days and so I needed to cut flowers for a few bouquets mid week. There are still some beautiful flowers growing, the foliage…

Halloween, a lost (and found phone) and poultry lockdown 😔
Monday 31st October 2022: I feel better this week and thank you for all the kind words 😁 I think I must have had a virus that but not really presenting itself as anything major in particular just lots of little things that were pulling me down. Weirdest of all was the sensitive scalp 🤷♀️…

Pumpkin flowers, wreaths & the clock change 🫤
Monday 24th October 2022: Ok I have been a little tardy with the blog posts apologies for that. I am feeling very ‘meh’ about everything at certain points in the day, generally late afternoon and evening when I would usually do the write up. I am more tired than usual, it’s starts off ok in…
