My absence from posting this time is a whole year!
Even my marketing manager in the UK, aka Bill, has given up on me and fair enough too.
I think the only one that has been badgering me to get cracking with a new post is hubby. Thank you for being consistent.
Of course given my tardiness, it is rather difficult to decide what to write about.
I do promise however, not to bore you with old news or create an epic post that leaves you yawning and eager to finish the tiresome read. No, none of that rest assured!
There is always a story though isn’t there? End of January, yours truly had a hip replacement which kept me housebound for awhile, which was hard going. Especially for someone who loves being in her garden and generally stomping about in her gummies. Sadly the only view of the garden for a time, was from the bedroom window.
Needless to say, some interesting behaviour ensued. I became adept at swearing, crying for no apparent reason (this thankfully has ceased), spent hours binge watching shows on the iPad, regarded showering as a torture, something to do with the possibility of falling over, and had to rely on hubby for just about everything. Including hauling on my socks and tying my shoe laces. He was amazing! I couldn’t have done it without him. Nor will I forget, at 6 weeks when the surgeon said I could drive my car, how elated hubby was. I wasn’t surprised at all to find myself behind the wheel of the car later that day! His choice not mine, trust me.
If you have been following my blog you will know that I adore my veg garden, although why we ever opted to have it located on a hillside is way beyond me! LOL.
As it happens, I’ve been back in my gummies again now for several months – talking to the veg garden as I drift past, en route to feed the chickens who spend much of their day also looking lovingly at my veg garden, thankfully there is a fence in-between. I missed pruning the orchard this summer, I do believe the fruit trees must be elated.
The sheep are still plump of course some things never change. And our feline pals are just divine, but then I’m a cat gal.
Autumn was colourful and dry, winter was particularly wet, and spring has sprung, the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing to the heavens – and who can blame them!
Thank you to all my blogging buddies who nudged me to post. Yes I do believe for now the Frog Pond Farm correspondent is back.
Happy gardening
