Introduction

Good Evening to all you lovely people at the Great WA Family, as usual do so hope that you are all keeping both safe and well.

Must confess that I did smile when I read this possible weeks title, it reminded me of my trip back from Torquay, the number of times that I saw the sign about a " Welcome Break", did get a little tired so I had two stops to refresh my tired eyes. On one stop did come across a most amazing Farm shop, full of all sorts of goods, very expensive though.

The drive must have tired me out more than I thought as this morning after my morning coffee I sat in my chair and woke up over an hour later!! Must explain that I did have to drive for around an hour through heavy rain and poor visibility. Then I was stuck on the M42 for an hour due to an accident up ahead, still sitting still did enable me to have my lunch before I got home.

The first thing that I did on arriving home after putting the kettle on, was to have a look at the garden and my plants. Pleased to say that the rain had looked after everything, in fact some of the water containers were so full that I had to empty them.

The one problem is that the rain has made the garden look more overgrown than ever, the weeds have just gone mad. The one good thing was some more flowers have started to bloom in Sammy's garden, they look really nice amongst the weeds!!

This evening I did manage to sort out one of the paths which was once more overgrown, this time with ferns. I should explain the left hand path, going down the garden has a small soil bed running down one side along next doors wall, it is only some fifteen inches wide, almost in the dark, in this I have planted a number of ferns, I think that there are some nine differing types. They are doing well, in fact so well that I have to trim them back tonight to stop them blocking the path, without doing so causes me to get soaked when I walk down the path after rain.

The Last Few Days

Do realise that I have already covered some of this so forgive me rambling.

The holiday in Torquay has done me a lot of good, being able to walk along the seashore, breathing in the air as the tide came either in or out made me feel so refreshed.

One of the reasons behind me choosing Torquay was the number of happy holidays that we had together when Yvonne was alive, I decided to scatter some of her ashes on one of our favourite places this I managed to do.

It was surprising how many people that I spoke to that were really kind, it did help me a lot, did a lot of walking, also some sketching, which I still enjoy doing.

Took my laptop and did have a play with writing some content, just to give me some idea of what I want to do with my websites.

Otherwise it was just a restful break which I needed.

The Next Few Days

I think that the main job this week will be to sort out the garden, do also hope to have a look at doing some work on the business, not forgetting that I have promised to help my Grandson sort out a website and help him to write a blog.

I notice that I have no cricket or Legion on the planner, so that should make for a change.

Do have a wonderful week, hope to be back next Sunday.

Please do stay safe,

Take care,

God Bless,

Stuart
