You've done and achieved a lot. You do a lot. You've been through a lot. A low energy day is perhaps inevitable. But you approach these things so positively and sensibly - accepting rather than letting it worry or get you down.

Hi Vivi!! That was so nice of you to donate your compost to the legacy of the lovely guerilla gardens. 🏵️ 🐝🌸. Also, your river rocks to that cute pond. I have multiple stations in my yard for the birds 🐦 & bees 🐝 to take a sip of water and to cool down. I just love watching them so much. It was so good to see Rosie. She came out because of you. What a little sweetie! How wonderful that you'll possibly be making some balm for your shop. I was wondering if that's what you were doing in one of your slow living videos. When you discussing your prices, I thought you were going to say something completely different. I think yours would be worth putting out there for €10. You have superior ingredients going into them and the love and care you put into them of course. I would definitely pay that for an artisan piece from you. Just my opinion. ❤

You can gift them in exchange for a coffee or two! 😉 I dont know, but I believe you can charge more for them, at least £5. Been out with my mom today, took her to the dentist, and then out for lunch.. My son came along also. We had a nice day, even the sun came out for a little while. But it is difficult when someone you love gets dementia. Stopped by the library on my way home, ordered a book, and picked up another one to read in this rubbish summer weather, another cold rainy day tomorrow. Inspired by you, doing odd jobs around the house. 🙂 Take some time for you, to charge your batteries.

Heartbreaking after all the work you put into it. My garden ankle deep in water again.... the only thing that thrives is the bind weed... and I have norovirus so hopefully that will pass in time for the better weather to do a bit. Mother nature just waits in the wings to claim her land back.... With all this horrible weather and unseasonal cold... I'm not surprised we are all suffering from CBA syndrome!

Hi Vivi, I hope Gary continues to let you shape his lavender plants so we can still purchase your gorgeous lavender bags. Did you ever got to harvest some more carrots from Gary on your last trip back to allotment. Even with the state that the plot was in it was lovely seeing you amongst all the green again. You made my eyes prick talking about Paddy. He left the plot due to his passing away and I know that giving up the plot was and will be better due to the toll it was putting your body through. No one should come home hurting as bad as you did and it lasting for days. Not just the knees I would get a migraine just thinking about going back. I've been with you from the start when you did little guest spots on your plot neighbors channel years ago so I'm happy that some of you will be staying there. So slow and steady for the hard work your doing to get a good price when you sell the flat and buy *fingers crossed* your perfect forever home with a smaller garden. Whatever the future holds I will always be tuned into What Vivi does Next..Much Love from across the Pond 💞

Guerrilla gardening (Spanish guerrilla "small war" and English gardening "gardening") was originally the secret sowing of plants as a subtle means of political protest and civil disobedience in public spaces, primarily in large cities or on public green spaces.[1] Guerrilla gardening has now developed into urban gardening or urban agriculture and combines protest with the benefits of a harvest or the beautification of dreary inner cities by greening fallow areas.

I’ve had to give up my plot last year. Saw it going to seed but I didn’t feel sad, just relieved that it wasn’t my job to get it into shape any more. Someone else can have that joy. Last year I was fully out of action and this year is shaping up to be sedate as well. I’ve inherited a larger garden now but it doesn’t have much scope for veggies. Probably for the best with my back. It’s a lovely, beautiful garden, so I hope I can do it justice. Without the plot to keep you stretching, bending and so on, will you take up some form of yoga or gentle stretching/strengthening exercises to compensate? That’s something I need to consider now.

My plot was passed on very quickly but unfortunately it looks like the lady who took it on didn't realise how much work it would be. She's covered a small corner of it but the rest has gone wild. I feel mostly for my plot neighbours who are getting weed seeds blown onto their plots. Such a shame.

Why can't a new tenant be found for your old garden? There are certainly enough interested parties on the waiting list. I had to wait over two and a half years for my turn. That doesn't quite make sense to me. Where do you actually put all the things you bring home from the garden? Your tools, the many large boxes with the flower pots and everything else? Slow down Vivi, the goal gets a little closer every day. ❤

You have to factor in about £200 for a chemist assessment to legally sell cosmetics in the UK….this is for each product. (Usually a base recipe with a number of variations ). Then you have the cost of labelling and packaging. I produce all my own labels. It’s definitely worth doing if you want to pursue it. You already have advertising and an outlet. Good luck xxx
