NEW Year
agonising over the need to get fit is usually fruitless. But this year there’s
been a much-needed boot up the backside because hard physical labour will be
needed to get the garden fit to leave by the end of the month.
Having neglected
to cut back perennials or do any pruning in the autumn (too busy, and the seed
heads are lovely for the birds over the winter, aren’t they?) we are faced with
an overgrown mass already bursting into springlike life on the first of January,
while birds are making sweet music all around and will soon be prospecting for
nesting sites in those overgrown bushes.
I foresee four
weekends of hacking when I should be packing.
