It’s such a great season for roses in Central Victoria. This is a heritage rose from my front garden. Two years ago, I picked some flowers for a friend who had just finished chemotherapy. Little did I know that two years later it would mark the end of mine. #cancer #natureheals

Yesterday, I sat in the garden to take in spring. My post chemo / fibromyalgia fatigue was so intense that I couldn’t stand. So, I sat there for an hour, flowers in full bloom all around me watching honeybees up close, sipping nectar from one flower, gathering pollen from the next and felt lucky.

Live stream of the Collins St peregrine falcons. Quite riveting watching at times when they move a little too close to that ledge!

I highly recommend this fascinating and moving story of Rodger Deakin’s search for the ancient Apple forests of Kazakhstan. Read after his death by his devoted friend Robert Macfarlane.

It’s that time of year… for planting veggie seeds. Way behind due to a year of intensive and challenging cancer treatment but I’ll still give it a go..
