These are sad times for our Six on Saturday community. I am sure I am not alone in finding it tricky to find the words this week. However, it is important that we do and, in doing so, show solidarity. It is vital we support each other in this world, real or virtual. On aContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Solidarity”

Six on Saturday – Soothing
I’ve had a busy week. Busy in a good way. Which means that I am weary but contented. And a little bit sad. Spring has the knack of soothing the troubled soul and providing positivity where perhaps it would usually be tricky to find it. This week my favourite season has done a sterling job.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Soothing”
Six on Saturday – Keeping on
April has arrived, although sometimes I doubted it would. Our weather has been variable this week, as has my clothing. On, off, on, off, hot, cold, hot, cold. Wednesday I was in full waterproofs, not because of the wet but because I spent the morning hoiking bags of spent mushroom compost and had to visitContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Keeping on”
Six on Saturday – Top Tips
I may have been a little cocky about the weather last week. My prideful fall inevitably came, but luckily I didn’t plummet too far. It has turned significantly colder, that is true, it has also been wetter, much to my annoyance. But there has been no frost, which was the main concern. Still, despite theContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Top Tips”
Six on Saturday – Ready or Not
There has been no “ready”, there has been no “steady”, there has just been “GO!” A few days absent, a few days of warmth and suddenly the garden has gone into hyperdrive. Spring has sprung, just in time for the equinox, excellent timing. Of course then we get the “false spring” advocates, the “only kiddingContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Ready or Not”
Six on Saturday – Inspired
I’ve been lacking inspiration. I have been bored with the weather, the enforced incarceration, myself. However, this week I found some va va voom again or at least some voom. And it is all thanks to you. The garden is so wet it would be foolish to even attempt working in it, and although admittedlyContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Inspired”
Six on Saturday – Respite
Yesterday (which is today really but I am pretending that it is Saturday) there was some respite from the rain. The sun shone, it was mild, it was cockle-warming. And I leapt, rather elegantly, rather inelegantly, on the opportunity to take photos for today’s SoS. Meagre portions again, but one must make an effort. IfContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Respite”
Six on Saturday – Full of Hope
Is hope all that remains? Of course not. We have courage and inspiration and imagination and determination and resilience. And lots more besides. We have spring just around the corner. And we have Six on Saturday where, under the auspices of Jim at Garden Ruminations, we embrace whatever season we are in with acceptance andContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Full of Hope”
Six on Saturday – Wild Week
Well that was a wild one. Prolonged below zero temperatures, the first named storm of the year, which reeked havoc in my home county, and shocking world events that both boil the blood and freeze the soul. Thank goodness we have each other. Jim at Garden Ruminations keeps us all on track and if youContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Wild Week”
Six on Saturday – Starting How I Mean to Go On
I was very keen to participate in this week’s Six on Saturday. It is the first of the year, at a time when there are slim pickings in the garden, all the more reason that I should show willing. It was time to prise myself out of the chair, kick start my imagination and findContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Starting How I Mean to Go On”
