I Have Not Passed Away

Just been very, very sick and ended up in hospital 


This was the state of play of the Back Garden Allotment on the 11th May 2026 after I went to Halfords to get cardboard to line the bottom of two more raised beds. 

Due to Autoimmune disease, and stepping down my steroids month on month, I caught one thing after another and ultimately my left leg increased in circumference by 2 and a half inches, and I was admitted to St Helier Hospital. 

I was discharged on the 1st June 2026 and today on the 3rd June the photo below is the state of play 


The brambles and weeds in front of the shed have gone mad and the grass between the beds is in desperate need of cutting. Currently I can hardly walk and there is no possibility of getting out there to do it. 

I've also not been down to my allotment during this time, for obvious reasons, and I really hate to think how the bindweed would have taken over everything. I did ask a plot neighbour to get my potatoes into a number of the raised beds I had prepped down there and he has, so at least I will hopefully get a harvest.
