I wake to a bright crisp winter’s day. Finally … after weeks of storms
ravaging the country.
As the year ends we are reminded of the magic and beauty that our gardens
bring, as places to come together and celebrate, even in difficult times.
This year it has been challenging not to be taken over by fear and despair,
with extreme weather events being mirrored in different ways across the
world, from floods to droughts; with the most recent political events; with
wars destroying land and displacing entire populations; and with the
constant increase in the cost of living creating ever more inequalities
between those that have and those that do not.
