I do still have times when things get frustrating because I have an overriding Protestant Work Ethic, but I have settled down to a much more focused existence in terms of getting things done. Sometimes I don’t do much during the day as my daughter is quick to point out 😂 but the garden has benefitted hugely from my regular hard work and I really look forward to making it a place that looks lovely once more and provides a home for insects and small creatures alike. So, still a work in progress but getting there.
