Sorry but I didn't travel down to Northampton in my car; I came down in Nick and Val's car. I do find gardening therapeutic but I sometimes struggle to get motivated. I'm writing this now as an avoidance from going out in the garden. It desperately needs watering.
The hospice garden doesn't include the water feature as that would be too difficult - there isn't electricity anywhere near the garden and I think the pond liner may not have come out of Tatton in tact. The slate will take the place of the water. There's still quite a lot to be done...
