As I sorted through some photographs of my organic country garden today, I was spellbound by the pictures of flowers and greenery, looking forward to the Summer time, when all will be in bloom once more. Amongst my photographs of a July past, I came across this picture of a beautiful rose, which was growing … Continue reading A Rose without a Name

How Towards Greener Borders Came To Be
Yesterday marks ten months since I launched a page on Facebook entitled “Towards Greener Borders”, on 2nd May 2014. It is a platform with a purpose; an entity which currently exists merely on the internet but based in reality, run on an entirely voluntary basis and presently managed from a one acre organic property in the United Kingdom. … Continue reading How Towards Greener Borders Came To Be
Monday morning Blog potholes
It is the start of a new week and I would love to be able to find the answers to a few questions on the physical workings of le Blog, by having someone real and three dimensional show me the way. Yesterday I posted a blurb (about Ifafa) and struggled to get it to look like … Continue reading Monday morning Blog potholes

What … Continue reading Gentle progress on the Blog structure
Tackling Blog Technology
Tuesday 24th February 2015 1.08pm Oh dear ... I have managed to erase the carefully installed Menu headings on The Holly Tree Tales, and now they are all lumped into one basket called "Gardens". The Garden of Life is playing games with me again. Three steps forward, five steps back. Three weeks ago, I managed to remove … Continue reading Tackling Blog Technology
The Doors of Life
Life has closed certain doors to me at the moment, some hopefully only temporarily, and so I am learning to work with the doors that remain open, or which have opened instead. There are ‘doors’ that I have consciously closed myself, and some that I have unconsciously shut and locked, at least for now, perhaps … Continue reading The Doors of Life
