The second in the January Scavenger Photo Hunt series - New.
My offering for 'New' was not what I had in mind when the list for January's words were selected. During a walk I'd asked for ideas and Himself suggested it. I'd mulled over it and wondered what I could use, may be by the time it came round there would be snowdrops or the hyacinth flowers were blossoming and I could use them..... then this happened.
I was approached by a small and forward thinking charity and offered a job. As the gardener in their beautiful walled kitchen garden.... erm yes please!
I had the invite to look around with part of the criteria being .... Bring Moss. I am not joking. An important part of the charity's ethos is being dog and family friendly. So, she and I (I was glad of her company) went and had a 'sniff around' - well she did more sniffing that I, and we liked what we saw.It is early days, but do I like how the universe has created this safe space for Moss and I? Yes, truly yes.
A new year, a new place to grow - in more ways than one.
A place to welcome a dog to work? Ho lovely. Though of course my pup has been my co-worker since March.
ReplyDeleteThe walled garden is in a park where lots of dogs are walked, so the whole space is pro dog and pro family - so it is lovely
DeleteWow! What a wonderful thing to happen for you. Your photos are fabulous, it looks like a lovely place to work and you get to take Moss too :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Moss loves going too :D
DeleteOoh, I'm envious and a job like that would be so good and being able to take Moss must be a real bonus. It looks a beautiful garden even with all that snow. Can't wait to see more as the year progresses. Thanks for sharing & it makes my post look very blah! Take care, stay safe & warm & hugs from a cool down under.
ReplyDeleteThank you, off to check out everyone else's posts once I've answered the comments
DeleteI may not be inspired to have found my own "new" this week, but I am looking forward to everyone else's interpretations. Yours is wonderful - all the very best for your new venture.
ReplyDeleteThank you and thank you :) xx
DeleteWhat a fantastic greenhouse - it looks like a really good place for growing
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely greenhouse, I love going in to it - I get excited every time !
DeleteWow. That sounds perfect. Lots of good wishes to you and Moss for the job. Bx
ReplyDeletethank you Belinda :D x
DeleteOh Kate ... how wonderful. What a perfect opportunity, I am so looking forward to reading about how you get on and watching the garden grow ... maybe you can share some sneaky growing tips with us 😃
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol :) x
DeleteWhat a lovely place to work in and Moss has to be there! Can't wait to see her working there.... you might have to find her a muddy patch or at least a water trough for her to wallow in. x
ReplyDeleteThe park is a bit muddy - time of the year, but the kitchen garden has been planned to have no bare soil apart from the raised beds, so does mean Moss (and the garden) stay clean(ish .....) 😄
DeleteThe pictures of the garden under snow are gorgeous. I'm sure we all look forward to seeing the progress of your walled garden and wish you luck in your new job. 💓 xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, the snow has now gone and been replaced by the most twinkly ice today - the temperature never got over -3 deg c
DeleteWhat a brilliant job. CN x
ReplyDeleteThank you CN :) x
DeleteWOW I would love a job like that! Congrats, can't wait to see how it works out.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! It sounds perfect. More work places should allow well behaved dogs. Where I work, a couple of staff have their dogs registered as mental health promotion pets and everyone loves it when they come in for the day. I can't wait to see how the garden grows. Lulu x
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I hope you have lots of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing what you are going to do there, with help from Moss of course!
