2020 is going to be one of those years I'll just never forget. We've had Coronavirus and been in lockdown for weeks. What with stockpilers of toilet rolls and idiots who decided lockdown wasn't for them and held parties and BBQs...

Jackie Money We tend to have two cats at a time and Ollie, our remaining one, is feeling a bit lost so it's good to take in another rescue. My partner and I tend to walk into the animal shelter, asking them which cat has been there the longest and then, provided we know...

Jackie Money Our other cat, Ollie, was devoted to Dusky and he's really feeling the loss. He keeps wanting to be kissed and cuddled. We would normally go to the animal shelter fairly soon after having one of our babies put to sleep but, due to this lockdown, we can't...

No, I'm not going to burst into a rendition of the song and I haven't turned into Julio Iglesias. I've had this Bergenia plant in my garden for several years but it hasn't done too well. However, this year, I've had the best...

Although I've ordered a couple of tomato plants for my garden I decided I may as well have a go at growing some from seed. I don't have a greenhouse but what I do have is a sunny windowsill in the bathroom, plenty of compost and...

Jackie Money Yes. All you need is a big pot and some compost. They need plenty of water and plant food every couple of weeks - I usually opt for chicken manure. And of course they do need a bit of sun to ripen them.

Despite us still being in lockdown here in the UK, I've been out more in the last week or so than I have since lockdown began. My first trip out was to attend my mother's funeral the Monday before last. Strange affair as the...

Jackie Money At the moment she's still eating, drinking and purrs so she's not suffering. I phoned the vet this morning to arrange to get some more anti inflammatory medicine for her. When the vet phoned to tell me the bad news he suggested that this would ease the pain...

Jackie Money We have the ashes of our two previous girls - Cleo and Kizzie - and I expect Dusky will join them. Some people think it's creepy but the fact is that we want them to 'come home'. We have two cats, Jules and Hobo, buried in the garden but, as the years have...

As some of you may know, the meadow at the bottom of our garden used to be rented out to our local animal sanctuary and we had cattle out there from April through to about October. It was lovely seeing the same cattle return year...

Over here in the UK, when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's, school children underwent an exam when they were 11 so the education authorities could separate the brighter children - who went to High School - from the slightly...

We decided, many years ago when we first moved int our house, that we didn't want a wooden fence at the bottom of the garden but preferred a more natural, native hedge. So we bought a mix of native British hedging plants -...

So I may not want to go too close to other humans - 6-8 ft has been recommended, but at least I can 'isolate' myself in my back garden. This morning is very windy but beautifully sunny so I nipped out to see what was happening in...

Jackie Money It's worth seeing. Most people come to see Buckingham Palace, Tower of London etc but our countryside is wonderful and far less stressful! I live in a National Park called the Norfolk Broads. It's very flat but we have huge manmade lakes which have been...
