This week was such a busy one. I seemed to be chasing my tail everyday. There was a lot of work and friends to see, but a two day migraine rather put a damper on things and made me realize that I was DOING TOO MUCH. That’s so often the way isn’t it. The body just says ‘no way, Jose’ and that’s it.

Anyway, it was on reflection a good and productive week and I’ve enjoyed some lovely times with friends old and new.

Now the weekend has come around and I see how much I really need to potter and draw breath. I need to just get things under control again. The weather should be wonderful so I’ve made a start on some planting in the garden and I’m planning a lot more over the next couple of days. I went back down to the lovely new garden centre this morning and bought their special offer – a whole selection of Duftpflanzen (aromatic plants) in pinks and blues to revitalize my aromatic garden, which has gradually become less aromatic as the years have gone by. I also finally, finally found a firebush – something I’ve been looking for for years – so I’m thrilled with that.

There’s something so calming and reflective about pottering – in the house and out – and I can’t wait.

I may even finally get some sewing done too. There’s been a bit of a drought around here recently and my fingers are itching!

Have a nice weekend – and take some time to smell the spring flowers – I will be!

Helen
