Please

Dear Reader 
Back
 
in
 
the
 
depths
 
of 
 
winter
 
my
 
head
 
was
 
full
 
of 
 
exciting
 
new
 
plans
 
for
 
my
 
own
 
cottage
 
garden.
 
My
 
horticultural
 
daydreams
 
were
 
awash
 
with
 
beautifully
 
manicured
 
lawns,
 
overflowing
 
herbaceous
 
borders
 
and
 
lazy
 
afternoon
 
naps
 
in
 
the
 
shade
 
of 
 
the
 
apple
 
tree.
 
Indeed
 
as
 
the
 
wood
‐
stove
 
glowed
 
and
 
the
 
north
 
winds
 
blew
 
I
 
looked
 
forward
 
to
 
the
 
summer
 
time,
 
when
 
climbing
 
roses
 
would
 
ramble
 
happily
 
over
 
stone
 
walls
 
and
 
my
 
garden
 
would
 
be
 
filled
 
with
 
the
 
aroma
 
of 
 
alfresco
 
cooking.
 
It
 
was
 
all
 
going
 
to
 
be
 
so
 
wonderful…
 
Sadly
 
it
 
seems
 
that
 
this
 
time
 
around
 
the
 
calendar
 
I
 
have
 
simply
 
not
 
been
 
able
 
to
 
find
 
the
 
time
 
to
 
put
 
any
 
of 
 
my
 
green
 
fingered
 
plans
 
into
 
practice
 
in
 
my
 
real
 
life
 
garden.
 
Instead,
 
whilst
 
my
 
back
 
has
 
been
 
turned,
 
Mother
 
Nature
 
has
 
quietly
 
and
 
stealthily
 
been
 
busy
 
doing
 
‘her
 
thing’
 
and
 
although
 
my
 
cottage
 
garden
 
is
 
indeed
 
filled
 
with
 
the
 
sight
 
and
 
scent
 
of 
 
high
 
summer’s
 
flowers,
 
on
 
closer
 
inspection
 
my
 
herbaceous
 
borders
 
[and
 
grass]
 
are
 
crammed
 
full
 
of 
 
more
 
weeds
 
than
 
I
 
could
 
politely
 
shake
 
my
 
trowel
 
at…
 
However
 
whilst
 
bindweed
 
has
 
been
 
busy
 
taking
 
hold
 
in
 
my
 
borders,
 
AIM
 
members
 
have
 
been
 
working
 
hard
 
to
 
once
 
again
 
deliver
 
a
 
wide
 
variety
 
of 
 
articles,
 
projects
 
and
 
features
 
that
 
together
 
celebrate
 
the
 
very
 
best
 
of 
 
summer
‐
albeit
 
in
 
miniature
 
of 
 
course!
 
But
 
for
 
now...
 
As
 
I
 
stand
 
in
 
the
 
evening
 
light
 
wistfully
 
surveying
 
my
 
cottage
 
garden,
 
I
 
am
 
left
 
with
 
only
 
one
 
nagging
 
thought…
 
“Where
 
exactly,
 
amongst
 
the
 
tangle
 
of 
 
nettles
 
and
 
bindweed…
 
did
 
I
 
leave
 
the
 
BBQ?”
