Joy

Unless someone else is sat with Mr P l don’t leave the house.
Nick called round this morning and it gave me a chance to just go out and look at my garden - in the past it’s something l’ve done nearly everything day and taken for granted.
Today, even though it is January and everything is sodden it gave me intense pleasure to just observe new shoots, smell the earth and do a random bit of deadheading before a quick sweep of one of the paths.
Then - just imagine my joy when l found my hellebores in flower, what a treat.
