Resurrection!

Last autumn we attempted to improve the soil condition of our garden by sifting out all the stones and digging in some decent compost. The stones and dead bulbs were dumped in an empty compost bag and left to itself for the winter.

This week on surveying the garden the flower beds are as lifeless as they always tended to be. But the discarded bag of rubble has a host of golden daffodils! Truly, truly, the bulbs that the gardener rejected have become the finest display in the garden!

In the spirit of the compost bag I have decided, against my better judgment, to revive my old blog; so after one year, two months and eight days, or if you prefer 436 days or even 37,670,400 seconds, this will be the first of a whole new series of Swiftypete. Not that I am entirely reconciled to the whole self-promotion thing. But who knows what might come of this.... who knows?
