An afternoon in the garden yesterday reconnected me with something I had been missing over the past few months. I have been so busy – yes, I know an excuse, but whilst James was in hospital, I found it difficult to really appreciate my own body and its ability to move!

I pruned dead wood from my citrus. I picked up all the dropped fruit stung by fruit fly (because I didn’t put traps out this year) I weeded. I planted. I mulched. I realised just how wonderful it is to be able to use my body to move.
