GARDEN TALES

Three days of darkness and no Garden Luxuries

Apologies to my faithful readers about my noticeable absence from ‘the world of blogging’; this was due to an electric power failure in the rented accommodation where I live. Thankfully an electrician arrived on Tuesday morning and the problem was repaired – at least for the time being. It’s an education to experience a lack of electricity and one can only imagine what it must be like to live in parts of the world where people don’t have access to electricity. Their lives must be radically different to ours. No electric power means no T.V., no computers, no internet, no pumped running water, no power tools, no fancy garden lighting, in fact no luxury gardens – only productive gardens. So life without electricity is radically different indeed. On that note my faithful readers and gardeners alike I will bid you adieu and always be quick to remember to be grateful for the electric current which illuminates your lives and provides you with a future in this insane, brutal world. You may not have a front garden, you might not even have a window box but at least you can visit fine gardens on the internet and dream grand dreams…
