    2021 was almost a total washout for me. Early in the year I injured my back, quite badly it transpired. In October I was admitted to hospital in a critical condition. I wasn't expected to survive but beat the odds. I am still extremely weak but back on my feet and getting stronger. I'd like to thank our NHS and my wonderful Carol for all their help and support through a traumatic time. I'm restricting gardening to greenhouse and planter growing this year and I might attempt to mow the lawns at my house in Lincs!

            Oh gosh Vince that's terrible!!. You've certainly had a tough time but I'm so pleased that you've made it through and are slowly but surely regaining your health.
            Look after yourself and don't overdo things.xx

                @Vince I hope your recovery is swift. Spring is weeks away and you'll be able to spend some of ykur time recuperating outside. It's a good time to sit and plan whilst in situ!

                    I never hear warnings not to cut trees/hedgerows in nesting season - I'm going to email RSPB ...

                    A tree was damaged by wind and I'm wondering if it's a lost cause
