I caught the first buds and tender leaves peaking out on my plants through the kitchen door half a way through my coffee…and I filled up! They made it! Something tough happened last year, this time. A long process was to follow that took me places I never had envisaged going. I bought those plants soon after, to go on my shady decking, so they would survive Winters on the Pennines.

I had put coats on them in Winter, to keep them safe from the frost and there I saw the buds peer through the coats, they are alive and well! And so am I, and my new buds.

Welcome LIFE, that bears it all, heals it all, lets die what needs dying, feeds what needs feeding…

…and carries on
