I have had a rotten week. They are making me wait again, and I don’t get any more patient! I have been promised a different medication, one that will knock at least half of my complaints on the head. On its journey to me it has had some hurdles to jump over, and at present…

I usually like to post flowers on a Sunday, but sadly, the choice is rather limited right now. I wasn’t expecting to be posting bonsai, but the ones I came across this morning on the internet deserve to be shown. When my passion for bonsai began all those years ago, I didn’t realise that they…

Recently spotted in my overgrown jungle… Only this time last year it was blue! This hydrangea is a new addition to our garden, back when I took better care of everything. It was such a pretty blue. Don’t get me wrong, pink is a lovely colour too. I have been reading about how you can…

this bonsai is made from beads! The heat is unrelenting, and my brain has almost given up all rational thought. I say almost, so I am very grateful for being able to think at all, everything considered. So I am making the most of what remains. Some of my bonsai are in full sun all…

A heatwave and a load of viruses…

More ups and downs yesterday, but nothing disastrous. At least, I didn’t think so until late in the afternoon when we were attacked. Something called Mcafee rushed to tell me we had just been attacked by seven viruses. One phone call to Eset, our security system, soon sorted that out. This was after a very…

This week has been full of ups and downs, and some of the downs have been spectacularly bad. After everything I have had to put up with the past year, I thought I had beaten the miseries, but it turns out I am human after all. But enough about that… I have been doing some…

I had a lovely afternoon yesterday, slowly managing to Summer prune most of my bonsai. So good to feel useful again… Enjoy your Sunday, folks… a lovely new week begins tomorrow! Jaye 💕

Lately, every time I go out doors, the extent of fresh growth every where I look is becoming overwhelming. All the rain we have had lately has triggered an immense growth spurt. All of my bonsai are almost unrecognisable, and the garden is a jungle. I feel so helpless, looking at it all, knowing there…

Sometimes I lie awake in the middle of the night and wonder what I am doing. I know what I think I am doing, but what am I actually accomplishing? Sometimes, I think writers are ill-equipped to step outside of their writing world to become successful businesswomen. I imagine you would need a severe dose…

I am still struggling to get my thoughts in order, and this thing in my head is not helping. I want to feel relieved that help might be on the way, but for some reason, my mind won’t rest. I must admit to allowing this, as I am too tired to argue with anything. Even…
