Day two

In October 2015 I'd seen hyacinth bulbs for sale in a lovely bowl with little gold stones instead of soil to plant the bulbs in.  Being a creative sort - not to say a bit thrifty I purchased a back of bulbs for a quarter of the price, then using a pyrex dish and glass beads and stones I already had, "planted and watered" the bulbs.

I stored the dish under the sink until they started to grow before moving them to the windowsill and waited for Christmas.

The flowers didn't bloom until New Year, but I am so pleased with them.  OK they may not look as neat as those in the lovely bowl but I love them, plus I watched as all the roots grew.

Being Positive - Introduction

This is a New Blog for a New Year

I want to be positive daily - I plan to be like Pollyanna and find something good, positive, pretty or fun every day.

Some background information about me.  I had a Blog in 2011 to help me deal with severe depression - my GP told me I was not able to work but with the help and support of friends on Twitter, some tablets, a counsellor and a lovely daughter I am no longer depressed, I still have some low days where I'm fed up, but no longer sink to such depths of despair.

I am currently not working following surgery so have no excuse for not completing daily updates.

So starting New Year's Day I will post at least one thing to be positive about.
