Downsizing

We (Betty & John Lynch) are currently downsizing. We are at the stage were we are unable to cope with the stairs and a large garden so we are hopefully moving to a flat.  We have now found a small bungalow but it needs some TLC - I am still pondering on what to do with the garden!!.It is on a SLOPE!  This little ditty - My Garden - is from a small ornament that we have given to a (younger) disabled friend.

from the toils and turmoils of day

while the sun sends the dew-tears away.
