Being outside and enjoying the beautiful plants and flowers that are about is definitely something that's keeping me going at the moment, so I thought it might be nice to grow our own garden here where we can all enjoy it.
Please add any pictures, links, chats about anything you're enjoying in your garden, have found on a walk, wish you had in your garden etc. Or just enjoy wandering around 🙂

Yep, I said Hello to my Birds (from you) @Former-Member Tweet tweet, chirp chirp....
Not going so well, feels like being locked up (in prison), with no visitors allowed.
Need to get out & about (for first time in years) - yet tours & venues are closed.
I have not had energy to drive places - except to local shops (for food).
The work Admin staff are still all working full-time (employed) - sending out dozens of daily emails, which they expect us to check (via work email system).
Not at all reasonable (ridiculous) - when I'm on Annual Leave, so are virtually all our support workers.
If they were paying me $ to work from home (we cannot work from home), then that would be okay.
No it's not okay, I'm on leave.

Just ignore emails @ Adge and are why you burning out annual leave when the gov has the job keeper allowence??? Look into that maybe check emails every second day. Its not as if they're gonna sack you over that.🍻🤫
