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…

This is Myrtle, and I never expected to see this display of flowers this year. Anita had it trimmed, as it was growing like crazy, and that, I thought, was that. ( I really miss not being in control of the gardening!) But, as you can see, it has more than made up for the…

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…

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…

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…

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,…

The garden tap has been leaking for weeks. I feel guilty every time I turn it on, and I have been desperate to get around to fixing it. The first thing I did was look for a replacement on Amazon, as ours might be beyond repair. I even ended up sending for two, but on…

I am sitting in a chair by the window in QA Hospital. I like to sit here while the nurses put the ward back into daytime mode. The sun is shining full pelt today,and I am enjoying watching the people coming and going in the road beneath the window. This tells me that out there,…

Winter is very much holding sway down here in Petersfield. I keep looking out of my window, but there are no signs of growth out there yet. My bonsai trees look cold and damp, sitting in their pots like silent sentinels. Are they awake in there, waiting for Nature’s nod to get going? This is…
