I had planned for a full day in the garden……..amongst other jobs I wanted to do some harvesting…..

During a bonkers busy day I take some time out to get on with some ‘pressing matters’ and start to feel excited about tomorrow’s celestial happening.

After opening another window on the advent calendar I go off to my High street to see what treats I can find for Christmas for a tenner (£10).

I don’t know whether it was the Christmas decorations or something else…..but a memory of life at my grandparent’s place in Dorset was sparked, it was so lovely to remember…. For my newer subscribers here is a video I made of a recent visit to this lovely part of the world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmmLDM9aYqc

It’s time to get stuck into a job which I have been putting off for ages……..and in doing so I discover another couple of maintenance jobs which really need to be a priority.

A wee gift suddenly triggers some lovely memories of working as a paediatric nurse at Christmas…..and remembering the year we had snow.

It’s time to do some brassica cares……I need to thwart the pigeons somehow…but before I do I can’t resist a quick harvest.

It’s a little earlier than I normally do it but……today I’m getting out my Christmas decorations….yay! Each one is a special wee trip down memory lane.

Hurray for some more lovely plants to get in the ground……except it’s after 12 hours of heavy rain so it’s a bit of a mud bath! Today I’m planting fennel, frisee lettuce and more broad beans.

Another window on the advent calendar, a few thank yous and a wonderful surprise parcel.
