While I was watching Comic Relief on TV a while back, I found myself coming face to face with myself.. A young girl was remembering her past, and as I listened, it was as though it was me talking. She described my childhood so well that I had to choke back the tears. I remembered…

For the want of a brain that works…

I think I belong in OZ, as I am sure I need a new brain, just like the scarecrow. I am probably beginning to walk like him too. I can still think, but so many things get in the way, and not just ordinary things. Like housework or cooking lunch for my family. Indescribable things,…

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…

I don’t usually dwell on anything I cannot do or have anymore. There have been so many this past year that I would be a basket case by now if I carried on about all of them. I don’t know why this particular one has managed to sneak through, but here it is. I was…

For a long time now, I have been searching my barely functioning brain for any inspiration that always used to be lurking in there somewhere. This may or not be a good idea, as the pressure in my head gets worse every day, but it’s what I need to find, so it will just have…

can old age be beautiful? Another week is coming to an end, and once again, I am no nearer sorting my life out. I am trying, but somehow, I get thwarted at every turn. The only thing I seem to be good at, is my daily physio, which is at least keeping me mobile. I…

Early last year, or maybe it was the year before, I had the idea to update our website. You may remember that it didn’t go well, and our website was a bit of a mess for a while. A lot has happened since then, but just recently, that old annoyance has made another appearance. You…

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…
