Worrying!

     I have a tendency to get anxious over anything, but with all this upset with Trump and Ukraine it has set me off worrying!  I got very anxious in lockdown. I didn't show any outward signs of how I was feeling, but I had dreadful insomnia. Night after night we were awake drinking tea at 3am.The dog loved it because she used to come upstairs and join us on the bed. There was no reason for my anxiety, as we lived in a very small town in Suffolk.. we had all our food delivered, a group of young men and women delivered our tablets from the pharmacy and would do anything for you.

We had 130ft long garden, which was quite wide,  so we grew veg and spent our days happily gardening. We walked where we lived and saw no body on most walks. But I had this awful feeling that we'd get infected. I was the queen of handwashing and kept saying to Dh 'Don't touch your face.' 

We didn't just through that period we moved here, 294 miles while there were still restrictions. In fact if you've followed my blog then, you'll know we bought this bungalow without viewing it, although my son came and videoed it for us.. and when we opened the front door we were delighted that the hall was a good size and the garden really big! Too big we think now, but it was all grass so we've just put in 3 flower beds and a veg patch, so keeping it easy.

So this anxiety now is all the Ukraine war and how it might now affect us. 

I saw this photo on FB and it gave me a feeling of calm.

Just an ordinary garden with some washing pegged out.. it looks like summer with the roses in flower and a slight haze. The sort of scene where you'd hear a bee, there doesn't appear to be any wind as the washing is hanging straight down, a lazy, hazy, summery afternoon. So I'm keeping this in mind as a calming thought and dreaming of summer. Do you ever get anxious or is it just me?
