You would think that Retirement would lend itself to giving you more time . Yet as my Hubby said when upon retiring several years ago he wondered how he had found time to go to work?.
Life in the Dreamwalker household has been busy busy to say the least since I took the plunge and retired.. I still have lots of catching up to do with your beautiful blogs . And for all those who have taken the time to visit my posts I am in the process of returning your kindness.. But for now I will leave you with a flavour of what I have been up to mostly in picture format.
So along with alterations around our home, we have been putting the home garden to bed for winter and sorting out the allotments. Hubby moved a row of raspberry shrubs as we learn by our mistakes as they grew I got nicely tangled in their tendrils.. So more space has been created between them and a support made for the Logan Berries..
BeforeAfter.
Click onto Photo’s for slide show or hover arrow over picture to read writing.I have also been busy in the evenings as those darker nights draw in. I am in the process of Knitting a Baby shawl which I was requested to knit. I have about another 15cms to go then it will measure a metre in length.. I then have to knit a boarder which will then be sewn all the way around it.. So still a ways to finish.
And Lastly.. wishing you ALL a HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Below is my Granddaughter who over her last few visits has been busy with me Baking and tasting

Sue, I am so happy for you that you are able to enjoy your retirement with work you enjoy. Your granddaughter is growing so fast, I know you enjoy her visits and she her time with you. There is a special relationship between grandchildren and us that will last with them all their lives
Your gardens look lovely. I have such a hard time mowing down any plants that produce food even if it make it hard for me to pick that food. What kind of fruit trees did you plant? They look very close together in the photos. I want to plant a few fruit trees next summer but didn’t realize they could be planted that closely to each other.

Second the fruit trees are two apples One and eater the other a cooker and a pear tree..They look closer than they are on the photo.. These trees have all been grafted and we intend to have them on a trellis which will be built as we train the branches along them.. Its Hubbies experiment! and he has researched it in a book..

You know Summer to begin with it took some adjusting to retiring as I do not get the official pension for another 5 years.. But I needed to do it for me, and spend some Quality time with my husband.. Two can live as cheap as one as they say.. And to start with I wondered if I had made the right choice.. As I felt a bit lost at first.. But once I settled into the idea and began organising my days accordingly, Things have been great..
Yes I can only image how having an 11 yr old will keep you on your toes right enough.. I remember well my two.. 🙂 But make the most of these years as believe me those years have so so flown and next year my Son has his 40th..

I am about half way finished the edging now.. I pick up and put down as the mood suits.. I am so pleased you enjoyed the Canal art.. YOU should give it a go and paint one.. it doesn’t have to be huge.. I saw how it was done starting with various different circle colours for the roses then building up.. It really is easy..
Yes the Autumn flowers are now fading.. I planted some winter pansies in the front garden for a little colour and some wall flowers in the back garden for Spring.. Along with some new bulbs… So after the long winter.. And I do believe we may well be in for a harsher snowy one this year.. We look forward again to Spring and her colourful blooms..
Many thanks for stopping by.. Always love your visits 🙂

Canal art does sound easy and I think I’d enjoy finding an old container to paint. Pansies are a must in winter, I adore their little faces and especially the dark blue and purple flowers. We have tiny cyclamen in pots, but I’ll get some violas too. My dad always gives me wallflowers grown on his allotment, their fiery colours brighten the borders. My dogs have been terrified of the fireworks going off all week, so I hope it quietens soon. I hope you have a good weekend Sue.x:-) x
