It's fascinating tv, having at its heart the desire to find the perfect life. One of the things that always strikes me is that part of that better life is having beautiful scenery and nature which is something we have in this country in abundance, something to be celebrated. At the moment everything is pretty dormant but Spring is just around the corner, and then the magic really starts to happen.
Today was a really frosty start and branches are bare but there is such beauty in this. As Spring arrives there's no greater joy than watching trees and flowers bud and bloom and it's so incredibly beneficial. Doctors have started prescribing time in the garden to help people with depression because of the therapeutic properties and it's obviously uplifting to look out of a window and see greenery and trees as opposed to concrete and bricks. I can't wait to get outside in my garden, get my hands in the soil and make plans to create my own urban oasis.
When I first moved into my new home, the front garden was just a square of grass. You can see here that I dug some borders out and slowly but surely I keep adding little bits. It does require patience and time but I'm learning as I go and getting pleasure from my own little plot.
