One of the beauties of working from home is being able to stroll out to the garden more or less at leisure. There’s definitely something rewarding in the getting up and off the chair, if nothing else. However there is so much more to be had from a mid morning leg stretch. The garden is […]
I’m sitting here looking out onto a slightly damp back lawn surrounded by even damper borders abundant with early summer growth. As I get older, the simpler things that mother nature never fails to provide brings me a life enhancing quality. Just when I thik my favourite woodland plant hasn’t survived that rather harsh winter, […]
