I always look forward to reading your Bimblings Josie.Love your honesty,transparency,tenacity and the way you connect with nature and life.I find myself saying Yes Yes Yes this is how I feel too.

I always smile at everyone and I am sure that some of them wonder who that odd woman is ,some who are indifferent but some may need that smile,the human connection and I am prepared to gamble in it!

I have an orchid,it cost 10 p fifteen years ago.My son worked at local Co op and he would bring me any plants that they had given up on so I could try to revive them.My house is littered with plant casualties.The orchid was green but had no flowers for five years.Then suddenly it exploded into pink and white blooms and as continued to do so since.I am so glad I didn’t give up on it🌸

Kind wishes

Stay you xxx

Amazing. Just what I needed to read today, Josie. Thank you. I am living with a chronic health condition also, and like you I love nature with a passion. This year I've been blessed with the gift of one white, self-seeded, foxglove in my back garden. I was told that in Irish myth, a lone white foxglove is considered a gift from the Sidhe, or fairy folk, and that brings me even more joy. After reading this I too am going to choose to say "Yes" as often as I possibly can.
