digging – Glad About

Writing 2026

Lydia and I went to one of our quiet walking places today. There was a bit of blue sky and the sun came out.

Having slept quite well last night and with the cough resulting from my cold improving, I do feel quite a bit better, so much so that I dug up a bush in the back garden. Well, it is three bushes actually, grown together. There is another clump that I’m hoping to dig up tomorrow. The foliage has been eaten by some sort of insect, I think. There are another two bushes/clumps that have similar damage but not as much, so I’m leaving them and the position that they are in works well with the overall garden design. A bit more sweeping and tidying is needed but generally there’s not too much to do, especially at this time of year.

I’ve also done some meditating today, as well as just enjoying being with Lydia. She’s had her tea so is quite settled for a bit more rest and relaxation. Me too (although I haven’t had my tea yet!).

Continuing the story of Lydia and Me

*All planted up, ready for the Show on Sunday*

I’m steadily getting ready to put some of my ceramic work up for sale at the Aldborough & Boroughbridge Show on Sunday. It’s taking place at Newby Hall near Ripon, so a fabulous venue, and should be a good day.

This morning, I had a lovely time outside, planting up some pots to enhance my display.

I’ve bought a few embellishments – hearts, butterflies, dragonflies – to add further interest.

I enjoy setting up a stand for a day. It’s good to meet different people: talk about pots; talk about the weather. It’s good to get sales too, of course!

After planting up my pots, I did some weeding in the garden. Lydia helped me, just by being there. I told her she was helping me and she went on to prove it even further, by doing some digging. Lydia does her digging and I do my weeding. I’m hoping we’ll have more garden time together over the summer, just doing what we feel like doing.
