Hello friends I’m not even sure this post will get sent; brain being addled and the rest, but I’ll see how far I get. The end of this week marks the finish of week one of isolation and lockdown for most of us here in the UK. And for most of my friends, we are also homeschooling (or supposed to be homeschooling), because they were sent home at the end of last week. I decided to take my kids out early, so I’m at the end of week TWO of ‘homeschooling’ and isolation. I’ve had a chance to settle in to the whole thing and find out what works for us…for ME. The answer of course, is NONE OF IT. But there are silver linings which I think the entire country is experiencing, not least the opportunity to concentrate on the garden, which often gets passed over for the rest of life. Here are our five minute forays for this week…which in general have extended themselves to 30 or forty minutes of actual gardening on my part (air punch!) I cannot sit here and tell you that I am mentally cruising, but I do know that without the garden and the gardenING I would be in a far worse state.
Hugs about the furious email 🤗 I really hate letting people down too and something like that would weigh on my mind forever, so I can completely understand how you must feel.
I've loved following along with your gardening adventures this week and whilst I no longer have small children I think you will have helped so many people sharing these activities🤗
I enjoyed reading how your week went. My two kids are 11 and 13 and not remotely interested in the garden so I’ve spent quite a long time outside this week . Consequently I’ve no more seeds to sow or compost. My lawn mower has packed up so I’m thinking I might cut the grass with shears so I can drag it out for as long as we’re in isolation!
