I could re-design this garden, but I don’t have the motivation as I hope we will be able to move house next year to somewhere smaller but with a larger garden and then I can start all over from scratch!!
I love trees and I’d really like a plot that has a couple of large trees in one area that would be ideal for a shady garden with ferns and spring flowers. But I want the space to be big enough for lots of variety. I’d also like an open wildflower meadow area and a pond bigger than the one we have now.

I used to do this and it’s really the only thing I’ve ever done where I totally lose track of time once I’m into it. I’m not great but it completely focusses me away from my thoughts and into the here and now of the activity. I have all the gear, and could just draw, but I am not motivated.
I am sure we’ll sleep better and I won’t be as irritable if I don’t have twitchy legs. What will we do though? Swim, walk, dance, do prescribed exercises?
