A rich tapestry

Back on track

It's almost a month since my last blog post and those warmer Summer days now seem like a dream.  I'm so grateful that I have lovely memories to look back on of our times out and about with our family as recently we've had to stay at home and concentrate on garden activities.  Mr P is not too well at the moment.  We're waiting for more detailed information on the results of a chest x-ray which was then followed by a lung CT scan.  There's also a meeting today by a specialist team at the hospital to discuss how this health issue can be monitored and managed.  Mr P finds satisfaction in his gardening activities and venturing out in the fresh air on warmer days benefits his wellbeing.  Although the days are getting colder and cloudier we've recently had some beautiful dry days.  We're also grateful for the covered area and the greenhouse that retain the warmth and where most of the gardening is done at the moment.  When Mr P had more energy he took out the individual trees that make up the cypress hedge next to the greenhouse.  Now there's more light and the sun can shine all morning into the greenhouse.  Another time I'll show more of the garden in September and also blog about that walk in Chatsworth Gardens as I took many photos and I'm sure you would be interested.

On Sunday afternoon we went to visit our local daughter for a change of scene and, of course, enjoyed seeing her garden where we sat for a while.  The roses are still a mass of blooms, but there are also signs of Autumn too.

 









Mugs of tea and cheese scones were very welcome after Mr P pruned a few of the rose bushes and took some of the leaves off the grape vines so that sunlight can continue to ripen the fruit.  Let's hope that the sun will shine during these September days.

Thank you for your comments on my last blog post and also for coming by. 
All the best, Linda.
