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.

Thank you for all your well wishes ahead of my operation last Saturday. My surgeon deemed it all to have gone “like clockwork” and given that he said he does almost 300 of these a year, I’m happy to take his word for it! The bandage is big though, and I’ve spent most of the last week with it elevated. I’ve another week with this on, and then the stitches come out next Friday, so hopefully things will continue to go well and I’ll get slightly less frustrated with my left-handed abilities!

In fairness it hasn’t been quite as bad as I thought, though there are some things that I can do that I thought I might not be able to, and some things I can’t which I hadn’t even considered. We did manage to get to Birmingham and Gardeners’ World Live this week though, and it was great - I’ve so much to share, hand permitting!
