My husband originally had 3, but i decided only to try and keep 2 going. I love my veg and would be lost without that. I’m starting to find a really good community on the plots. You have a common interest, so a good starting point for chat, and people are always willing to give advice.

Yes it’s good for the soul.I feel so much better when I have been working in the garden.
It is hard work doing everything alone,my Peter always shared the housework and was there to help if anything in the garden was too difficult for me to do myself.x

sunday and bank holidays are the same now as they have always been, boring and basically the same as any other day of the week
I agree every day is the same now, unless there is something positive to do

I don’t even know what a positive thing is anymore. There doesn’t seem to be a point to anything at all now.

Yes, very hard. John did all the food shopping and cooking, I did the rest. Not keeping up with any of it very well.

Re visiting my fath I’m catholic and never enjoyed going to church but since I lost my family and now on my own I get strength for getting involved and volunteering at church it nothing like I remember great priest who is approachable and people feels like a family and has us laughing in church which would never have been heard of, also organising meals out afternoon tea with music and singing and walks out everyone looks out for each other x

This Sunday I was lucky as I joined my two sons and grandson for a walk in a bluebell wood.

Hy Lyn T, I hate weekends. Everyone is doing their own thing. I have tried to be positive and look up groups to join. There are never any events on a Saturday or Sunday. My thoughts are with you

I have had some boring weekends as well. Tried to look up everything. There was a monthly soup Saturday I went to which made a change.
I could go to the allotment like I did last year to pick some spinach and rhubarb left over from last year. When my son has planted cucumbers could orick them out. At the moment I am busy trying to do the garden if it isn’t raining. I can go to the village museum to see the new display on Sunday if I want to do something else. Also try out all the various churches to see what they are like. Last year I was still a National Trust member and there is a property near my son and the allotment. Once I met a lady on her own visiting who had a chat. Doesn’t always happen. Another time no one spoke but I did some sketching.
Hi Lyn,
I am going on a walk tomorrow, I need to get out of the house. It’s near where I live. The walk is for 1 and a half hours. I always feel sad and down at weekends, unless I am seeing my family

I’m going for a walk shortly. I’m all on my own now. The only time I see people on the weekend is at the gym and most of them are concentrating on their exercise and plugged into their headphones.
