I've just been having my coffee out in the garden and enjoying the beauty of all the flowers coming out into bloom - especially the roses.
Here, in sunny Bracknell, we still have excellent weather, although we're told it's going to deteriorate.
I just wanted to say how it gladdens my heart (and mind) to get out into the garden, however small it is. Do others have similar experiences?

My Garden is the place where I am closest to those loved ones I have lost. It rarely fails to evoke memories and also hopes for the future.

I agree with you Rev. in fact I just had to post a couple of pictures of my garden elsewhere on the gardening page.
I will enjoy sitting out in my deck chair before the horrendous BBQ's start polluting the air around me later this evening,lol.

Yes, working from home, I can see our back garden from my office upstairs (this is a 3 bedroom house with a study, not a 4 bedroom house, for the purposes of HIP, so there!) sorry, I digress........ and although it has now clouded over, even in grotty weather I can look out at my garden and enjoy it! I can plan what I shall do out there next and still earn money, with a small diversion to the message boards - tea break!

I spend a lot of time in my garden, drinking coffee, reading, doing the crossword or just pottering. I am incredibly lucky, I have fantastic views across the Waveney Valley.

It is getting very grey over here in Caaaaaaaaaversham now (still warm though)
It's probably building up to chuck it down about 4pm when I leave the w place

Hi Rev Mike Yes, I love my garden, either sitting in it or working in it, I am only an amature and with very limited sight (3% in one eye) I love the smells, and I am very lucky to be still able to see colours. I love water and have a shell boy water feature which trickles gently and gives a very peaceful feeling. Love TT xxxx

How lovely, though, that you can still see colours. Long may that last. What is your dog's name please, and on what ways does he help you?

How lovely, though, that you can still see colours. Long may that last. I read an article recently that said that Renoir's style of painting was due to him having poor eyesight, so he painted what he actually saw! It's a bit boggling to consider poor eyesight to be an advantage, but his masterpieces demonstrate the possibility that, instead of being a disabilty, for him, and all of the people who love is paintings, it was a blessing.
