We went back to Cork yesterday for another hospital appointment for my brother. We dropped him off for his treatment and spent a few hours wandering round the streets of Cork city.
It was the usual looking at the architecture, people watching and shopping. I saw my first Christmas pudding yesterday and this curious sign.
Then we chanced to walk past an old derelict site that's been transformed and made into a garden.
If there was such a garden down in West Cork. I would gladly volunteer and do some gardening for them and give them some of my plants. Do you know of any other gardening projects worth supporting? I know the RHS always want garden volunteers and they rent allotments.
I have seen several inner city community garden projects in Norwich when I have been wandering around. They look like they are well looked after and usually have some fun and quirky bits and pieces of art. I enjoyed this post Dave, as I always do here. You have not mentioned your brother before except in these two posts. Does he live on the farm in another property?
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel. I would love to see the Norwich gardens photographs on your blog some time.
ReplyDeleteMy brother lives in a village. He is recovering from a stroke he had last year. I am glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks for your comment.
Next time I see one I'll take a photo. I hope your brother is recovering well; I know from my own brother's experience last year that it is a hard struggle.
DeleteIt will be great to see a photo Rachel. My brother is recovering thanks. But like you say it is a hard struggle and you realize that they never will be the same person. Thanks again for your comment Rachel.
Deletethe exotic looking plant is one called a echium. Glad to hear your brother is getting better.
