An Apology

 Springhill, March 2026


Dear Reader,


I am very sorry - very, very sorry that I have been neglecting you. The truth is Nelly's Garden is very, very old (for a blog) and is getting tired. It's not that she wants to actually kick the bucket - just that she wonders if there is any point in rambling on and on about dogs and crocuses (croci?) and other stuff even though the internet is full to the brim of people rambling on about their opinions, dogs, obsessions and that is even before AI gets properly started.

I will try to do better. That is if you can bear to listen to my nonsense.

By the way, I despise Drump, Fartage, Netanyahoo and if that bothers you, you can do one.

Anyway, in the meantime, here are some photos of the croci (crocuses?) in my garden.

Kind regards, 

Nelly.

I never get tired of reading your Blogs and it is not because we are related (cousin). It is because they are relatable and very refreshing, also they remind me of my country home.

Je vis au Québec (Canada) et j'ai toujours un grand plaisir à lire vos propos, quels qu'ils soient. J'aime le dépaysement qu'ils me procurent et surtout le ton que vous employez. Et puis, nous sommes dans la même tranche d'âge ...

Oh, I can bear it :). We are always happy to see a new post and your photos of crocus are very much appreciated. Here in northern Vermont we just had 5 inches of snow and more coming tomorrow! Poor man's fertilizer, it's called here, maybe also in N.I.?

To my reader from Quebec...J'apprécie beaucoup vos commentaires. Par ailleurs, je crains que mon français ne soit très mauvais, j'ai donc utilisé Google Traduction pour écrire ceci.

To my cousin, Susannah and Anon - your comments are greatly appreciated and I'm encouraged to keep the old girl (Nelly) going forward.

J'utilise aussi Google translate pour lire vos merveilleux messages. Mon anglais vaut autant que votre français :)

Don’t stop. Love hearing your news even if it’s just crocus based.
