Apologies for the dearth of posts this past week or so.
We’ve done a bit of travelling and are now heavily involved in a village event coming up at the end of May.
The weather here in Dorset is absolutely splendid and it’s wonderful to get out in the garden and soak up the sights and sounds. Flowers are bursting forth from lush green foliage, bees are buzzing and blackbirds are singing their dear little hearts out.
I made the mistake of watching some of the Chelsea Flower Show programmes on the BBC this week.
One was probably enough, to be honest.
I mean, I love seeing the incredible gardens and plants on display but there is only so much I can take of grinning presenters we are clearly meant to know (their names only appear in the credits at the end) and celebrities I have never heard of.
Grayson Perry described Chelsea along the lines of being Middle England’s ‘Glastonbury for people who wear linen’, and he’s not wrong.
There is no way I could cope with all those crowds. I get slight agoraphobia just by watching it on the telly.
So this spring bank holiday weekend, I’m looking forward to spending time in my own glorious garden -small but on the way to being perfectly formed – as the sun beats down from a clear blue sky.
Enjoy the weekend, where ever you are.
