Post Comment Love 7 - 9 July

Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week, please remember this, posts which are older will be removed from the linky. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

A lot has happened in the past few weeks, and it’s all good news - we have finally moved house!

In the end the actual moving actually happened quite quickly, which was at times quite stressful. They say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do, and they're right! But we are in, and are surrounded by boxes - though thankfully they are quickly becoming empty boxes.

We don’t have internet connected yet so until I can find a reliable and decent internet source, I’m afraid my posts will be brief, but there is so much more to tell. In the meantime though, I hope you all have a good week.

The Garden Year: July 2023

June was definitely a good month weather wise - and a good month to enjoy our garden. The roses have been fantastic and it’s said that they’re better for the cold and then wet winter which has meant they had a complete rest and then there were less bugs around than normal. Who knows, it sounds plausible - but either way we’re enjoying a bumper flowering of roses on our patio.

In our garden it’s been about maintaining the status quo, and enjoying the flowers. First the roses came (and came), then the purple clematis, the hydrangeas started as did the sweet peas, and then boom the jasmine. It’s scent is amazing - and still reminds me of balmy evenings on holiday in Seville many years ago.

I’ve still plenty of photos to share from Gardeners’ World Live, but am slower than ever following my operation so please bear with me. Plus I’ll have something new to share really soon, so please hang around for that.

Have a good month enjoying whatever you have planned in your garden and those you visit.

Post Comment Love 30 June - 2 July

Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week, please remember this, posts which are older will be removed from the linky. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

I’ve had a week away from blogging this week, so this week there’s no linked post from me - please do pop over to Suzanne’s post, and at least one other post to share some of that love.

This past week has been another dominated by my post-op hand - at times though it’s been quite frustrating. I know I have to leave it time to heal, but there’s a fair bit to do around the garden at the moment which I can’t quite do, or do well enough left-handed. I’m itching to get back doing some crafts, but that’s tricky too and I don’t want to overdo it. I need to learn to be patient!

But equally the resting and taking it easy is hard going, and I’ve not had much inspiration or inclination this week to pick up my laptop, or edit photos, nor a clear idea on what to share.

The healing is going well though so that’s something. The stitches are out and the nurses are pleased with how it’s going, the consultant is also pleased. So pleased that he started to talk about the op for my left hand, which surprised me. I’d much prefer though to get my right hand back to normal before thinking about that, which he understood. So that’s on hold right now.

This week my photo is of the 3D card MOH got me for our anniversary - he knows how much I like cards that are a bit unusual and especially things that I can repurpose. This one kept me quiet for a little while while I pushed out the cut-outs and brought the card to life. Clever isn’t it?
