🌿 Imagine starting your Sunday like this…
The grass is still sparkling with dew. The morning air is cool and fresh.
You brush past the rosemary and release that lovely warm, herby smell. Birds are calling from the trees, children are laughing as they race across the grass, and somewhere nearby someone is busy planting an autumn bulb, tucking it quietly into the earth to wait for spring.
Then someone spots a ladybird.
Suddenly, there are three children crouched in the soil, peering underneath leaves and around stems, trying to work out where it might spend the winter.
Another ladybird!
Someone carefully carries it to a cosy patch of leaves they’ve decided looks like a good place to hibernate.
And that’s the thing about Sunday mornings at the Green Backyard.
There’s no rush.
There’s time to dig in the soil, plant a seed, pick an apple, follow a worm, smell the herbs, listen to the birds and notice the tiny things you might otherwise walk straight past.
Children can run, explore, get muddy, make things and discover things. Adults can potter, chat, drink a cup of tea and breathe a little deeper (and also get stuck in to out gardening jobs if you like!)
Just being outside first thing in the morning, surrounded by growing things and a bit of wildness, feels good for the soul. 🌱
So, if your Sunday mornings could do with a little less rushing and a lot more growing ...
