I have finally done it this afternoon. Forced to spend more time than usual in bed (even for me) because of fractured pelvis I have spent this afternoon creating a nurturenature facebook page. Lots of people ask me whether we have a FB page and increasingly embarrassed by saying no I thought I’d better say […]
Am currently having literally a cracking time – broke my ankle a couple of months ago and still in a cast though that may be coming off tomorrow. Then had a fall in the shower 3 weeks ago and have fractured my pelvis is two places – very painful and simply a matter of waiting […]
It’s absolutely months, in fact over a year since I last made an entry in the nurturenature blog. One of my aspirations for 2019 is to make more regular entries so that anyone interested can follow what’s happening in the garden by reading the blog. (Though hopefully they will come and visit in person as […]
Sat 5th May Today was the first of the nurturenature plant sales for 2018. Sadly, I wasn’t able to be there as I have been stuck in hospital for the last week with a pneumonia. It has meant missing a weeks holiday and the plant sales today and tomorrow so the timing is immaculate (ly […]
A glorious spring/summer day. Sun shining with real warmth. Very exciting – first flowering bluebells spotted in the wood today. Lovely walk with dogs. Bertie, our miniature chocolate labradoodle (sort of cocker spaniel size) swam in the pond having manfully carried what amounted to a tree trunk in his mouth all the way there. Never […]
Over optimistically I had hoped that I might manage a winter without the misfortune of a stay in the Hallamshire Hospital. Unfortunately I have already had a sojourn in that luxury accommodation courtesy of a viral pneumonia. Nearly two weeks in the infectious diseases ward (E2) and now another week in bed at home is […]
I realise it is rather a long time since my last post. I don’t want to end up writing a long rambling post that no-one can be bothered to read so I am going to try and briefly summarise the key messages I want to transmit in this post and then expand on anything I […]
It’s easy say that we want to establish a therapeutic garden but it is also easy to argue that any garden is therapeutic…especially one of the key justifications for developing a ‘therapeutic’ garden is the evidence that gardening or even just being in a garden is therapeutic in the sense that has a positive effect […]
Prior to having rheumatological illness myself I read about the nature of tiredness in this context and the fact that it was a particularly disabling sort of tiredness. However, until you have actually experienced it, it is impossible to understand at any level how paralysing it is. Quite unlike normal tiredness, which even when it feels […]
One of the curious things about life is how what is in fact, when compared to the general population, quite an abnormal situation becomes normality. This was highlighted to me today in a curious way-I was talking to someone who was potentially going to come and do some cleaning for me. Living rurally it’s quite difficult […]
