Welcome to my blog, my retreat ... my little piece of comfort.

After pondering for months about my life and purpose ... I discovered I needed something to focus on. Something to do. I'm not ashamed to admit that I am battling depression and anxiety. After losing my brother last year I have yet to come to terms with the reality that I will never see him again. I will never hear his voice and will never hear him laugh when my kids do something to amuse him. This is my reality.

I decided to start this blog as a way to express my feelings and let you into my life a little. As my counsellor once said to me: 'it's good to let it all out'.

So what is this blog all about? Initially it was going to be just about my garden (my new hobby), hence the name: 'Little Garden In The City'. I believe it will grow into much more than that (this blog I mean, not the garden). I've taken a break from work so have plenty of time to spare and have spent the last few months hiding out at home ... my home has been my safe haven. I moved into this house a year ago and it is still not completely finished. So you'll find a little of everything here relating to my home and garden. From baking to pruning, to DIY and up-cycling ... and also the occasional rant. Don't we all just love a good rant?! Just go with it! I also have 2 beautiful children - you will meet them later. I also have a wonderful husband who has stood by me through my darkest hours. We've been together 14 years ... and I can't imagine my life without him!

Anyway, feel free to message me with your comments and suggestions!

Until next time ... keep love in your hearts ... always.
