Where did those weeks go?

The moment when you realise you haven't written your blog for so long!
Sorry to any avid readers....not sure there are any yet but sorry just the same.
As I shared in my last blog I gave up smoking after having a chest infection and fever, the greatest news is that I have remained smoke free since - so now I'm in my 11th week.
It has not been easy and continues to be a struggle sometimes but I have managed this far and I am so proud of myself.
It is a filthy habit and one that I realise was a MAJOR part of my life, my habit is still niggling away at me and the after effects are only just beginning.
I have put on weight but I can lose it, I can't get new lungs, or a healthy respiratory system but I can lose weight.
While I have been trying desperately to keep busy and keep smoke-free I have been doing the garden, mostly raking leaves and putting them in bags for leaf mould next year.

 

I have been selling plants but sadly have given up my two days in Brixton market - I may be starting somewhere else - there's a new street market opening in South Lambeth Road, next to the Tate Library. I fancy I might help that get of the ground.
I've been selling from my garden too, small but steady business so if you are one of my neighbours and have just joined me I'll be doing the newsletter very soon.
I have also done a course in myofascial release - an addition my growing massage repertoire.
I've been busy.............

 

making Kokedama moss balls, which I will be selling at Christmas and next year, I have a company called Kokedama London. Making these is such a meditation, I will become obsessed - they are so beautiful - here are some hanging ones.
