    How do you live with your disability?

    You sound sort of similar to me. I have a severely damaged spine that makes walking difficult & very painful, even standing for more than a very short time & have been warned about heavy lifting. I too have a large garden to look after & over the last five years since the accident that caused my...

    I had to stop taking ACE Inhibitors as I ended up twice in A&E with anaphylactic shock.

    Question for gardeners, please

    I know I’m too late for this but impatiens are only half hardy so will only survive outdoors after the last frost. Garden centres make loads of money by selling bedding plants to inexperienced gardeners at Easter, knowing they’ll be able to sell them more later once those have been killed off by...

    It’s much cooler up here today, high sixties with a strong cooling wind. I‘ve bathed & blow dried two of the dogs, can’t be bothered cooking so just having a prawn salad for tea

    Getting Personal Once Again...

    I’ve always been emotional but can sympathise as I do cry more these days. Songs can set me off in an instant. It’s especially hard as you lose all the people & animals that you loved but are gone now, more & more. There’s nothing quite like the love from a dog for comfort. I’m sure she does...

    The Outdoor Gardening Thread

    About two acres. Been here forty five years. It was badly overgrown with brambles, nettles, bindweed etc, the goats got rid of a lot of that for me & the geese mow the grass to bowling green standard. I suppose you could say I’ve been gardening till I could walk. My dad was an avid gardener &...

    Do you declutter/tidy regularly?

    I have the same. Some of these posts are making me really depressed! Think Holly is the only one who is vaguely like me….only she’s tidier. I’m another cupboard shover,out of sight, out of mind. The houses I really hate to visit are ones like a friend who used to live down the lane. She lived...

    Last time you traveled locally on public transportation

    Years ago when I was at university in Manchester. Here I’d have to walk three miles to the nearest bus stop, where a bus runs just one an hour….if it turns up. No point in applying for a bus pass.

    The Outdoor Gardening Thread

    Well, I already posted pictures on the “ I hate gardening “ thread ( which I don’t, I love it) but here they are. It’s a huge cottage garden, nearly two acres, plus two fields where I keep goats, geese, ducks & hens. Don’t have great weather high up here on the Pennines so not everything...

    Breaking News MPs vote to legalise assisted dying in the UK

    I agree with every point you’ve made, Mike. I think there should have been at least a larger majority required before this could become law, not the mere 23 vote majority that it attained. We are rapidly & worryingly coming to see that it is ALL about the money with this government, & I too have...
