Hi

In April we all hoped that we would have been back to the old 'normal' by Christmas but it is not looking at all probable, so, we will have to adapt our lifestyles this year, yet again, making support bubbles, texting, ringing, face timing, zooming (didnt know what that was back in March but now I am much more technically capable, although my children probably wouldn't agree) It's not the same as tallking face to face with family and friends but at least we are all keeping safe so we...

WOW Summer has certainly come in with pheww!!!!

We have had a really busy Spring, sowing and planting Baskets and Tubs, the weather has worked wonders lifting people's spirits.

We are looking forward to getting our own garden in shape, its gets n...
