Sunny Sunday Re-Potting

I woke in a very odd mood today. Feeling I wanted to jump out of bed and have a massive clear out - make space and get rid of. Which is not really possible as I have a lot of "stuff" here which belongs to my son who currently lives and works in Dubai, and also of course my 2 daughters belongings as they are away at uni in term time.

I did a bit of clearing, in an effort to resolve this feeling. Then I felt overwhelming sad and miserable, the feeling of missing my kids being the focus of the now streaming tears.

I had a good cry, which in fact I believe did me good. Last week at work I felt like crying several times due to so many impending changes and stresses but I didn't so it was good to let go and have the tears in the privacy of my own home.

After having some lovely cheese and tomatoes on toast (made by my partner to cheer me up) I felt a bit better and we went out to a local garden/home store.

I bought some compost and plant pots as several of my plants were in desperate need of a little more growing space. So by the time we got home the sun was shining and it was pleasantly warm to spend time out on the balcony re-potting.

They all look lovely now, the 5 cacti and a dwarf conifer tree, all standing proudly in the fresh new soil.

Silly me, I should have taken photo's - maybe tomorrow if I have time!
