Thank you everyone who commented on my review for Lia Leendertz’ New Almanac for 2019. The review was published Here
The winning name selected is https://watchingthedaisies.com.
Thanks again to everyone who read the review and took part in the prize draw. I’m grateful to the publishers for supplying a copy to give away.
I shall be buying several copies for Christmas presents. A little bit of joy for every day of the year. Lovely to dip into to keep pace with the seasons.
Here’s my gap-in-the-hedge view from the top field. A lovely spot to stand and gaze at nature, while gathering rosehips and crab apples for autumn preserves. There are lots of enticing seasonal recipes in the new Almanac. A good excuse to try something new.

Congratulations to the winner of “The Almanac”. Karen forgives me writing you late but I have been very wrong with my hip and leg and did not feel like picking up the laptop. As your beloved relative continues, I hope he has improved with the care of doctors. Karen, how are you? I hope you have taken care of yourself and are very healthy and strong, they tell you what they tell you. I am by your side and I send all my support, my strength, my courage and my shoulder if you have to vent and love. Take care of yourself a lot of people need you. Very loving greetings from Margarita.

Thank you so much Margarita. Things are a little better this week, thankfully. Your sensible and calm advice is much appreciated. I did what you said. I stopped despairing, and started thinking what I could do to help. There is a lot I can do that’s positive. My flowers have a new destination now. I will update you soon. Thank you again for your kindness and compassion- and for always being there for me. Loving greetings in return. Karen xx

Karen, I’m very glad that you got up and have an action plan. Thank you for saying that my words are sensible: I just want to help you. You are my friend and I want to help you in bad times. My support and my encouragement and my strength and everything you need you have from me. Karen takes care of your health and you can take care of the sick relatives you love. If you do not have health, you will not be able to care for and encourage your dear relative. Much love Karen. Take care. Very loving greetings from Margarita.
