A new life beckons.

Today we exchanged contracts on Lodge Lane Nursery in Dutton, Cheshire, along with a cottage, a 1 acre garden open to the public and a small but pretty stretch of meadow and woodland alongside the Trent and Mersey canal. We will own it by Thursday night and Monday morning will herald the start of my new life as a nursery owner.

Six months ago, this would have been beyond contemplation. Less than a dream, not really even a ripple of an idea. But on Friday I will hang up my trowel as a 'weekend gardener' and try to make a career of it. The first day open to the public will be scary. It's probably close to how newly qualified teachers feel when they face their first classroom. Fun, but scary.
