Despite the crippling heat of the last few weeks, I went ahead and made the appointment with my optician, intending to get there under my own steam for what would be the first time in months. Definitely several steps in the right direction, I thought, and although the thought was scary, I really looked forward…

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…

This week has not been very productive, as we have been subjected to the severe temperatures of a heatwave. Nearly 40 degrees! Towards the end of the week, we really thought we were dying, we couldn’t keep cool or move around much. The heat stole our strength, leaving us barely conscious. The extreme heat warning…

I had a strong desire to walk around Petersfield Pond today. It was the perfect day to see what Mother Nature was doing. But no available transport, sigh. I would just have to look through my photographs of a previous visit. I thought I could stagger out to the garden, not quite the same thing,…
