We like to walk around the garden first thing in the morning, cuppa in hand, but I noticed this was becoming a stress instead of a pleasure, as I was going round thinking 'I must do that, take out those weeds, cut this back, move that while it is still small enough' - in other words making a long to-do list for myself.
Well, I still have a to-do list for the garden - a garden is work, there's no denying it - but I try to make that ten minute morning walk a time to notice what is new and beautiful, watch the bees and listen to the birds, smell the honeysuckle, and take pleasure in the colours.
Another way to enjoy the garden is to have all your meals in it - I do love this....
