A quick update on what is happening in the Nurturenature garden. There are a few places left for the poetry reading on Saturday 15th July both for the 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock sitting. Jackie Kay is a wonderful poet and reads beautifully so do come if you can manage it. For tickets contact me […]
Apologies for the horribly long time since I last posted. I am really hoping that this time I can post regularly and keep everyone up to date with what is happening at NurtureNature. It has been a long time without posts and while the garden has continued to be developed to make it a healing […]
It is far too long since I wrote on the blog but a joy to be sitting writing in the sunshine with a view of the garden and surrounded by birdsong. Goldfinch are coming and going at the feeder nearest to me, enjoying nyjer seed their particular favourite and the scent from miniature narcissi in […]

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 […]

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 […]
