This will probably be a bit meaningless to most people on here (although I think VeggieChicken might probably/vaguely remember me. Hope so, anyway!) but I’m really happy to say ‘hello again’ to everyone seeing as I joined just under two years ago, but have largely been ’away’ (not in prison or anything dodgy like that!) for most of the time until…well… now.
Anyone who remembers me will know that I received a lot of help from members on this Forum, and successfully built a lovely vegetable garden in the months after I first joined, only to slip back completely in the second year due to various little problems and changes in circumstances ie long running health scares and allied problems (all, happily, now resolved) and a lot of housing uncertainty, (also now sorted, too), and I’ve done nothing at all this year, save for picking all the fruit from the bushes that I planted last season.
The present change of circumstances is that I’ve moved to a new house now – albeit it only being down the other end of the street! – and I’ll be starting again from scratch in the new season, In many ways I’ve actually started already in that, despite only being in the new house for two weeks,I’ve already ordered and had delivered a stack of vegetable seeds already from The Real Seeds Company, and have already selected a new greenhouse for delivery around the end of January or early February. I’d be buying it already but am completely furnishing a house from the floors up just at the moment, so you’ll appreciate the cost involved in buying all new ‘everything’ from carpets up to lightbulb shades and absolutely everything in between apart from an iPad, a wheelbarrow, and a very well worn (already!) set of faithful garden tools.
I never cancelled the magazine even though they’ve largely just been piling up on the shelf, and the yearning to ‘get back again’ has been developing in intensity all way through.
I’d love to think this is the start of something new and that I stay around this time for much longer than I did two years ago, and I can’t see any reason why I shouldn’t so ‘hello again’ (again) and here we go!
