I shall delete this account in next few days. If you want to, you can still keep in touch by following @ProfJuneG where I am more active, tweeting (in no particular order) about nursing/health/gardening/reading/writing/knitting/nature.. everything really. Hope to see you there.

Just so dispiriting to watch this. Johnson just isn't up to it. Not on the detail, not on the principle, not on the sense of basic responsibility which the moment entails. It's really no more complex than that.

I'm stopping using this account because I post pretty much everything on my main account @ProfJuneG. Please swap to that if you want to keep in touch. The gardening stuff will be there, plus my usual nurse/healthcare/political/sweary rantings.

I'm going to delete this Twitter account as I don't use it very much, and I put almost everything on my main account @ProfJuneG anyway. Do follow my main account if you want to keep in touch - all the garden/wildlife etc stuff goes out on there too.

Am I just evil, or is anyone else contemplating what havoc could be wreaked by putting weed seeds in flower packets? #shoutyhalfhour

Bulb arrived today. 300 and some odd. That's a lot of planting. But a lot of flowers too!

Weeding, weeding, weeding. Weeding, weeding, weeding.
I'm hopeless at sweet peas. They're always spindly and sparse and I forget to keep picking them. #shoutyhalfhour
