Cancer Nurse 💙. Love walking my dog Archie, baking and growing vegetables and flowers 🌱. No dm's.
Working today so missed the sunset. The magpies are nest building, as seen from the ward window, so not a bad view to end 2026. Hoping the new year brings you hope, laughter and more gardening shenanigans #HappyNewYear #Nature

2025 was a challenging year as not only did the #BlueSkies keep coming, I also broke my elbow at the start of June. I found dead heading roses to be good physio and DA Claire Autin was definitely floriferous. Now the veggies are still giving and it all feels so worth while #GardensHour

I find comfort in the rhythm of the changing seasons and as my garden fades, dwarf iris bulbs planted last month bring new hope #GardensHour

No more delays: Let's get peat out of gardens once and for all. The time for uncertainty has ended.

This is a new vegetable bed. It's taken three years of layering cardboard and compost to get here. Garlic's up, 🤞 #GardensHour
