I’m not going to lie, I feel a bit of survivor guilt being tucked away down here in Tasmania. No lockdowns, no masks, I am sorry for those of you who are deep in the thick of it. That said, I thought I would come back here and do something new … An email yesterday about this blog made want to change things up a bit and write something almost daily/when I can. And while it won’t be written from very far afield (I have been quite ill and can’t really wander far) it will be outdoorsy and literature-themed.
How exciting to see you back in this space Pip..yay.
I've been battling the possums and wallabies for years now and have reduced my veg garden to 1 small raised bed with a polypipe frame holding fine insect net up, think a laura ingles-wilder covered wagon. It's done the job, I just have to make sure I open it up so the wanted insects can get in and work their magic.
I hope you are soon much better, I think rugging up and taking your cuppa up to take in that view must be a tonic to help your healing.
I had lunch in your gorgeous town yesterday on my way home from Hobart (we went up over the lakes) and I looked around and wondered where you live. I just love the river, it's so big and was flowing so fast yesterday, there aren't many big flowing rivers in Tas really.
That garden sounds like it was once somebody’s loved and cherished space, it will be great to read about it coming back to life. I hope you find your trowel!
Yay I found your new blog today through Sophie Hansen's '5 Things to be Cheerful about Monday'. So she definitely did give me something to be cheerful about today!! I loved reading and looking at your textures, and I do hope you start feeling better Pip xx
