And here we are in 2023.
Let’s see what we can achieve despite all that’s going on .

My son is reading a book about making one small change at a time so we left granny sleeping and headed out for a nice mother and son walk . He does not do that too often !
Steak pie for us later once the fresh orange juice and French toast goes down .
Take special care ,

Thank you. Here’s our lovely dog-cat. Affectionate even when fully fed!

What a beautiful dog cat and affectionate that’s very special. Hugo only comes to cuddle if he’s cold xx

Hi Artsie,
A moment of quality time - lovely!!!
Getting out in the fresh air was on my agenda too. I think my trip out really helped me turn my positive mojo back on after a NYE lull.
We took on an allotment in the middle of the summer & got cracking on making some raised beds in hope to make it accessible in years to come.
I was so eager to get growing some winter veggies but we haven’t been there since my diagnosis, what with that & the cold weather it really wasn’t on the radar. I wanted to pop up when the snow melted but Mr S discouraged me - I think he was being protective as I don’t think he expected anything to survive being under the snow for a week.
Popped in on NYD & was surprised at the survival rate. Really gave us both a needed boost & we went again yesterday to do a little tidying & dig up what was spoiled.
Hoping in 2023 to finish off what we started (& to be able to eat some of that green veg) …….I dream of green

Wellspring what tree was that on? Shall have to look out for it!
I love this as Kareno62 and myself are trying to find our ways round gardening . Last year for the first time we grew onions .
Thats amazing you had such a good crop ! We are thinking of a raised flower bed for mum this year as she was a keen gardener .
Keep the photos coming .
