How often do I hear folk on Gardener\u2019s Wold<\/em> extolling the therapeutic virtues of gardening and green spaces!? All the time, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the day I cancelled the second delivery shift I\u2019d booked. Just too tired! So, \u2018pon returning from my first, and now only<\/em> delivery shift, I go out into the garden. Despite the lowering glowering darkening clouds, heavy with the threat\/promise of rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decided to remove the bulk of this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve chosen to trim the Laurel bush right<\/em> back. I might even take it out completely. So\u2019s I can enlarge the pond. Hmmm!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teresa\u2019s on the warpath about it! Uh-oh\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the great things about getting out of the house, whether it\u2019s work or pleasure, gardening, or whatever, is the unexpected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our little Robin buddy was a major tonic for me today. As I worked and cleared, he busied himself finding insects for his babes. And he was bold as brass, coming up very close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-operative stumps.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was charmed and beguiled by what he was doing. I wonder what – beside a feeding opportunity – he made of me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Yes, this should definitely be enlarged.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some time later\u2026 I\u2019m trying to hack out the stump of the Laurel bush. Much, much, much <\/em>easier said than done! Robin is popping by regularly, to feed and socialise. What a little dude!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My little pal, back again!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the things making this job sooo<\/em> much harder is the spoil of rubble, broken glass, and bricks\u2026 even whole<\/em> bricks, that\u2019s all around the roots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
