Putting things on pause

Hello everyone! I have taken a decision, at last, though with a heavy heart.

I have been struggling to find the time to devote to writing Greenery: much though I love sharing events in my little garden, and musing over all those insights which occur to you as you make your way along the never-ending journey towards greater sustainability, I have been finding life is rather derailing my efforts.

This is mainly because of the new job. I could never have predicted, when I started Greenery a little over a year ago, that I would be the end of that same year be joining my favourite charity, Plantlife, as their peat-free advocate. This has turned out to be an all-absorbing job which is exciting, frustrating and inspiring by turns. It’s taking me off all over the country, and when I’m at home - well, to be honest, I’d rather be in my garden than in front of my computer.

So I hope you’ll forgive me for putting Greenery on hold for a while. I don’t know how long this will be: maybe for a long time, or maybe just for summer.

I will be suspending paid subscriptions, of course; and since I’m the sort of person who seems to need to communicate any idea that pops into my mind I will still be active here via Notes and perhaps the occasional thread, and on other social media. My Twitter account, where I mostly go on about peat-free compost and the efforts to bring a ban into law, is @sallynex; and I’ll still be keeping you posted about developments in my garden via Insta at sally.nex.

Thank you for supporting Greenery and for helping make this experience such a lovely one - our little community has been a delight. I wish you the very best of summers - may all your carrots grow straight and your potatoes grow hefty! See you around…
