I am disabled and housebound, I go nowhere outside my house and tiny garden (except to hospital to see my doctors), and after 3 years of blogging I have shown off every bit of my garden and most of my house. I take around 4000 photos every year of my garden, but blimey, I am certainly not going to post all of them – that would certainly send most people to sleep?! <br />I could of course start a different type of blog and write about something completely different, but I like (my way of) gardening so that’s what I write about. Posting once a week is more than enough for me and I might drop to less than that at times.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-28131790592860694212014-02-10T02:23:59.243+00:002014-02-10T02:23:59.243+00:00If I had to blog about my life every day, no one w...If I had to blog about my life every day, no one would read it. Once a week is all I can manage. But it's always exciting when a creature shows up that you haven't seen in a long time.
