We lost Mum in February, her mum - my Nan in August and then on 11/11 we lost my Dad.
So I'm sitting here in Sidcup once again, planning a funeral and thinking back a year ...... if we knew then what we know now, I'd have given up before I even started.
So this winter is going to be very quiet. The lottie had been pretty nearly put to bed a month ago, just a wee bit of tidying up to do when I get home.
I'd cleared out the g/h on the plot before I left too and deposited all the spent compost in various raised beds at the lottie. The soil levels are rising steadily.
I'm even going to have to start a blog for the Sidcup plot and I've got a fair size garden, room for a few raised beds and already got a greenhouse in place which doesn't need much apart from a good old wash.
So folks, I truely hope you've had a better year than me and mine. Look forward to seeing you all in the Spring when hopefully my life will be back under control and I will have a masterplan for the three plots !
Take care of yourselves and have a Happy Christmas !
RIP Dad, no more 3 putting now eh ? ...... "Yeah yeah yeah"

Hi Mrs KP,
Nice to see you back, I've been waiting for an update, but can see now why it's been put on hold.
So sorry to hear your tragic news. You just can't tell what life is going to throw at you, which, sometimes is a blessing.
All my good wishes,
Jo.
thanks for your kind thoughts Jo. I told the old man when Nan died, "don't do anything daft, i can't cope with 3 in a year" ............. he never did what anyone told him to ! bless him, silly old buggar.
now .... not only have i got 3 plots to contend with, i'll have to work with two climates, the two in glasgow and one in Sidcup. now THAT will be interesting !
thanks so much for looking in. i'm hoping for great things next season, so please feel free to pop by.

I very much like your lottieblog. Fills me with inspiration for the things I know I ought to be doing, when you continue in light of the atrocious year you've had.
Life sucks, next year will be better I promise
Lers ya loads
