    Ziggy woke me up with an e-mail yesterrday so blame him if I start to chunter on forever!!!

    Hello my friends, I have been a bit amiss lately and not been visiting the site as often as I used to. My apologies...

    Don't have much time to access the site at my lunch breaks these days plus I have busy with finishing my Cert. course in Psychodynamic Counselling and a lot of kerfuffle went on about me wanting to start the Diploma Course but it would not work out and eventually I listened to my 6th sense !!

    I have been busy with Ma too, her health is not doing too well and she has had a mild stroke and a couple and more visits to A&E with swallowing problems as well as the heart problem. I'm getting to the the ambulance crews. :-)

    Been busy straightening my life and enjoying my freedom. Not letting anyone get thier feet under my table just yet. I guess I'll be very careful of that....once bitten, twice shy!!!!

    Garden has done reasonably well though not much in the veg. patch. The lawn looks great and I seem to spend a lot of time just tidying up rather then sitting back and enjoying my efforts.

    But I'm back....and I have more plans for the garden so watch this space.....

            Many Thanks for such a lovely welcome back.
            I guess I'm just paying back for what my Ma did for me when I was a child. :-) Told her I'd sell her on e-bay but then who would cook my dinners. :-)

            The rest of life is just a learning curve and fun at that....and that is what I make of it anyway.

            Had planned on going to london tomorrow to the Mind.Body,Soul exhibition at Olympia but have had a re-think and I will stay home and give my garden some care instead. Could do with tidying up the veg plot.
