As we start week 10 of lockdown (where has the time gone?), I’ve almost forgotten what life was like before. The last two months have made me realise, even more than ever, just how lucky I am that I live in a village (with a great community) in the countryside.
I feel I haven't achieved as much as I had hoped at the beginning, but I have to remind myself that I have still been working or did I just set myself an unrealistic list of all the things I would do, learn or change?
But, I have finally achieved one of my life ambitions and managed to plant myself a vegetable garden. After a few days of back-breaking work shovelling soil into my newly constructed raised beds, I was finally able to plant vegetable seedlings, many of which I had been given by friends in the village. I had never realised what a community there is around gardening, one I am now excited to be part of!
