NOT LONG NOW

ent for a little stroll in my garden today and there is life in some plants again so I am pleased but it is early days yet. We’ll get some Spring-like days this week but our weather is really unpredictable, so we take it one day at the time.

Our new neighbours asked to remove our 35 year old conifer hedge between our garden and theirs. With pain in our hearts we said yes you may do this as the hedge was nice and green on our side but totally brown on their side. But the possitive about this is that I get a bit more garden where I can plant new things…..

Here are a few pics I took this afternoon.

UPDATE

I had my operation on December 1st. Got sent home with a bag of painkillers and I have to say I am surprised in a  good way. All went well and I am wearing a temporary cast that is open cos my arm was swollen, Ill have to wear this 2 weeks and then I’ll get a normal cast.

What did they do ; they sawed through both my bones in my forearm, cut a piece of bone in my hip to put in my arm. The first few days were really painfull but now it is bearable. It was my right arm that needed the operation but they used my left hip to take a bit of bone from.

There are a lot of things I can’t do for a while but I hope to be ok by the beginning of Spring, I can’t wait to start in the garden again !!

As I can’t use my camera I ‘ll have to use old pictures…

I would like to thank you all for your support and good wishes !
