We are all told “live your life to the fullest”;

I am here to do just that as I step out of my Fifty’s and into my Sixty’s. It’s scary but I’m just going to embrace it and jump over the boundary!

I am creating this blog to share and maybe inspire my readers into taking a step out of their own comfort zone. So sit back and follow me into the unknown!

Step big, step small but always step forward as life does not go backwards!

  • Welcome October
    The darker days are definitely coming and October is here with the leaves coming off the trees and hedges every time the wind blows. This week was the start of the garden clear up and the downstairs garden was definitely looking a bit straggly. I have cut back some of the perennials and pulled upContinue reading “Welcome October”
  • Here comes Nigel
    Good morning I am waking up to yet another storm warning. Nigel is apparently coming to visit! Well I suppose he will blow even more leaves off the trees and hedges. My side hedge is becoming quite bear in places already but I suppose as soon as there are just have branches it will makeContinue reading “Here comes Nigel”
  • I’m Back
    Wow where did the Summer go! It was a busy time which started off with me catering my friends wedding weekend. This was by far the biggest party I have prepared food for. It started with canapes, then a cold buffet for 60 and an afternoon tea the following day. Whilst it was really stressfulContinue reading “I’m Back”
  • Work In Progress
    Update on hand: It is now uncovered and generally healing well. Certain places are still a little numb and some are a little tender but most of it is good. I am now massaging all around the wounds with rosehip oil which is definitely making the skin feel more supple. I still have restricted motionContinue reading “Work In Progress”
  • Enjoy the Little Things
    The hand is a little lighter due to less bandages and the stitches are now out. The back of my hand still needs to remain covered until the skin has a chance to knit together but all in all it is so much better and the best thing is I can drive again. On TuesdayContinue reading “Enjoy the Little Things”
  • Ouch!
    So let me start by saying I am a little one handed this week as unfortunately I got bitten by a dog on the back of my hand. I stupidly put my hand in-between two adolescent entire males, one who was grumbling at the other. I thought to diffuse the situation by moving the non-grumblyContinue reading “Ouch!”
  • She’s Home!
    Yes I missed last week’s post but just had too much happening on Sunday and the rest of the week ran away from me. I had to help Mia move out of her flat that has been her home for the last two years. We did one collection on the previous Tues and Georgina cameContinue reading “She’s Home!”
  • Lots of good smells!
    We are nearly at the end of May, how has that happened? It seems to have gone so quickly and we have had a beautiful month with sunshine throughout a lot of it, which has been brilliant for the garden. This week I made a little mushroom ornament for decorating one of my flower beds,Continue reading “Lots of good smells!”
  • Downstairs Garden Project
    This week has definitely been a get outdoors week with the better weather with us but with the UK you never know for how long, so you have to get things done asap! The garden is coming along nicely despite the slugs which seem really bad at the moment, probably due to the fresh youngContinue reading “Downstairs Garden Project”
  • Gardeners Joy
    Last week I told you I was hoping to get out into the garden and I did just that after a little visit to the garden centre 😆 My favourite thing is making up my summer baskets and pots. This year I have my pallet planters to fill as well. I still have things onContinue reading “Gardeners Joy”
