I love your Spring flowers and your planter looks good too.  Ray is the gardener here and I think that I would really struggle to do it if he wasn't here. I take an interest and help to plan things but don't have the love of it as he does, although I'm told that it is very rewarding and therapeutic.  Although I have an 'artistic' eye and can see immediately if something doesn't look right, that's as far as it goes. I'm more at home looking after the administrative side of things which Ray hates doing.

Gardening can be back breaking work so take care and pace yourself.  It's early days Steve and you are doing more than okay.  Just take one day at a time as you seem to be doing and let the tears come when you need to. x
