At long last

I really would like to thank everyone who has been so kind to us over the last few months. A special thank you to a lady called Margaret who was a complete stranger who I met in the cafe of our Sainsbury store the day before my mum's funeral. While Barbara was shopping I sat having a coffee not really wanting to have anything to do with anyone. Margaret asked me if I was OK and when I explained she left only to return shortly with a large bunch of roses for the funeral. What a wonderful world it would be if there were more people like her.

We are now back on the allotment. Not only back but have taken on the one next to us which became vacant. It is mainly small raised beds so quite easy to maintain. I thought that we were a bit behind everyone else but had a count yesterday and including Veg,Fruit and Herbs we have 32 different things growing.

At the weekend coming I shall be taking some photographs to put on here.

It is great to be back

Jim and Barbara

Sorry for delay

Really sorry for the gap between posts.

My Mum passed away before Christmas so the last thing on my mind was my plot or blog.

I am now just beginning to come to terms with our loss.

I have planted a rose called "Remember me" on the plot which is the same peach colour that she loved.

My mum 'Bet' also liked to feed the birds on her balcony so we have put a bird bath on the plot.

I will start blogging again very soon
