Gardener's World
Just been eating fillet steak a la maison in the Conservatory. The rain beat down on the glass, but those funny lot at Gardeners World carried on regardless! Not bad really, at least there wasn't a bit of decking in sight. But oh dear, I can't afford to buy conifers as tall as that even if I wanted to. And the Green garden - lots of bits of colour which they seemed to think weren't colour? And now the wine that went with the steak has taken over and I can't think of all the other comments I had to make!
I feel another garden walk coming on. I am delighted that so many of you seem to enjoy my strolls around the garden. If only you knew how much work goes into it!! Been out there weeding this afternoon either side of 4.00, in case you didn't know. I could feel all of you doing the same thing. What is it about a garden? A very very special place, even if the S.E. wind is blowing hard and the rain coming at intervals, with sun between. I may have said it before, but it bares repeating, God is very close in a garden, as He is in our little church, with the sound of the birds. Don't forget to shut the door as you leave. If a Swallow gets in it is hard to get it out and it tends to die.
See you soon for the next stroll but not just yet.

It is lovely to think of us all out there gardening together this afternoon, isn't it - such togetherness out in the wilds. Indeed I will join you in your next stroll when you are ready!

Agree with you that the Great Creator is there in our gardens. Last evening after the little prayer meeting I go to the ladies invited me to go with them to hear the nightingales on the common. I'd never heard nightingales before. It was lovely. Then as the light faded, the bats were flitting around past us. I got in my car to leave and drove down the track, and my nature walk ended with a deer jumping out in front of me!

Withy, I look forward to another walk. I can't even begin to imagine the work that must go into your garden. Here I keep a lot of it 'wild' which gives me an excuse to do a lot of nothing - but the bits that I care for take an enormous amount of time - you must spend HOURS!
