OH MY GOODNESS!

I have just found out that Joanne's Cottage garden is in the finals for the Blotanical awards of the best urban garden. I am so touched that you voted for me and thank everyone so much it means such a lot to have got so far.

The above shot was the best I could find at short notice I am not sure I should have let the flash go off lighting the foreground and I was a little late to actually get the sunset properly, I was hanging around for the bats but missed them too.

What you don't see is the housing estate at the middle distance. Which I try to pretend isn't there.

I would appreciate photographic advice at any time it is such a steep learning curve for me but fun.

I have to thank Karen from an Artists garden as she was the person to introduce me to Blotanical and the many friends I have made there.

I know I bore you all with Lyme Disease and you are good to come back to my blog after my constant rantings. I have actually been really struggling recently. Not in health that's doing well thank goodness, but I am struggling with the burden of hearing about so many sick people but especially children who have struggled with this illness before diagnosis and are still struggling to get proper treatment.

I spend hours trying to raise awareness and trying in vain to get a journalist to take five minutes to find out what is going on that affects so many people when simple antibiotics can help us. I despair when I hear about the controversy and Blotanical and all you blogging friends help counter that despair so thank you and keep safe from tick bites.
