Well as we are now in the month of October chilly nights and days come to that are upon us and we have seen the last of summer and so have most of my patio plants. I don't have a very large back garden but then again i suppose you would not even call it a garden as i had it all brick weaved about 15 years ago. I have a 2 berth touring caravan so the hard standing is ideal for it to sit on. I have a little patio 14ft x 10ft and the little brick wall i have around it has seen better days.
On the patio i have over the years purchased pots and made planters so at least i have a bit of greenery to look at gardening is not my strong point so i fill them with whatever seasonal plants are available so now it is getting near the time for me to start filling them with winter pansies.
Today i went out on the patio to start clearing the pots and containers of the spent plants but to be honest after roughly 20 - 30 Min's i started to feel slightly breathless and lethargic it goes to show how unfit i am i thought to myself but i had not been doing that much surely emptying a few pots a bit of sweeping and moving a few things about could not reduce me to the physical wreck that i felt like.
I decided enough was enough and went indoors for the rest of the day i felt as though i had just done 8 hours on a building site my chest felt heavy i was tired and i just wanted to lie down curse this DCM i thought to my self after a few hours i found my self returning to a more normal state but i am not going to give up i am going out there again tommorow and have decided little and often is the way forward.
Lets see what tommorow brings but i am determined this is not going to beat me watch this space.
Mick I know the feeling! I want to do so much and when I get outside I want to go back in again:o( Grace
