Wondering how to use the blog...
I have been writing this blog since 2007. That is an amazing thought! In that time I have made lots of real and virtual friends and had a lot of fun with it. I have been to Chelsea and to the Malvern and Tatton RHS Shows. I have blogged about gardens and houses and cooking and had the occasional rant about consumerism and the way we bring up our children. I have blogged as often as three times a week, although generally my pattern has been to write a weekly blog. I have blogged with photographs and without and have found that the urge to write has been like an itch I need to scratch, a pleasurable itch, but the itch of a strong urge to connect and to find the words that make sense of my life. So why do I feel that I am grinding to a halt, losing it, letting it drift away from me? It is hard to put my finger on. At one level I very much do not want to stop. I love the connections I have made and I know my life would be poorer without them....
