Sitting here, of an evening, I’ve finally decided to throw in the trowel and admit – it’s pretty darned cold. I was being upbeat until this afternoon, warding off the chills by refusing to allow them entrance into my house or my psyche. But alas, my fingers and toes have decided otherwise. Apparently winter only starts on the 1st of June. Wish somebody would tell the 25th of May that!
About Melanie Walker
I’m one of those odd people who, despite travelling the world, hasn’t actually moved all that far. I’m living in the house I pretty much grew up in and doubt that I’ll ever really leave it! Like most people who live in ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’, I have a love/hate relationship with the city. The thing I hate the most are the obnoxious drivers who litter our road, so if you’re ever in my hood and you’re confronted with a blonde who stops to point out you're in the wrong, steer clear.… I love that we have so many trees (and if one more person points out that, hey, like, shoo wow, we have the largest man-made forest in the world here, I’ll throw up on myself!) and that so many people are getting into the groove and getting not only indigenous but endemic – after all, I’m a serious gardener…
