Life at The Pig Yard continues to move forward, or at least in a direction, I’m not sure whether that’s forward or not.
I’ve started cycling again after a long layoff (lack of motivation) and I’m now trying to get out at least three times a week in the early morning (06:45) when there is little wind or traffic. I cycle a ten-mile circuit in an hour. The mornings are uplifting and are a good start to the day although such early starts do make the days very long. On Saturday morning I had cycled, showered, hung out a towel wash and done some shopping all before 09:30. Which left the rest of the day to do – what exactly? Well I took the Lotus out for a tour of the countryside, then washed it and after lunch spent three hours weeding the garden.
The garden continues to bloom in small sections and once I get started it can occupy me for many hours. Despite all my efforts I still focus on the weeds rather than the beauty which is a reflection of my own personality. Going round the garden and taking photos helps me to realise that it’s a lovely garden…
