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.

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..

This week I read Claire Keegan’s ‘Small Things Like These’ which asks us how we will act on injustice. Brilliant writing. Highly recommend. #BookerPrizeShortlister #literaryfiction #BookClub

My wild, unkempt garden with a native lawn is teeming with life. Three skinks darted anxiously by, blue banded bees are whizzing around inspecting flowers and the eastern spinebill perches on the stakes in the garden to take a sip of nectar from the salvias. #wildgardens #wildlife #biodiversity

Gratitude 💕. Boyfriend thinks he’s hopeless with food but brings me this delicious meal for lunch. So lucky to have such wonderful support for my cancer recovery.

Absolutely love this book by Isabella Tree about rewilding the Knepp estate (which I am reading in this sweltering heat from the comfort of my toddler pool in the garden… incl. mosquito net)..
