The rocky road to the success I used to be

I have now moved in a different direction with this blog, and am investigating the ideas which I developed in my career in horticulture. I shall entitle it 'The rocky road to the success I used to be'.

However, whilst doing that, let us not forget that this started out as a way of retaining my sanity while housebound for three years following an accident. I wrote the hilarious and deeply poignant story of my redemption in daily instalments of about a thousand words, for a period of nearly eighteen months. The first 117 chapters are now available as a Kindle book, readable on your Kindle device, your PC, iPad or Smartphone with an app. Please follow the link below to sample and purchase:

Also now published is Volume 2, 'A Long Three Months', comprising chapters 118-266.

And finally, Volume 3 is now available at the link below:

I have now removed all the original posts to make space for the future.

Thank you for reading. Having an audience is marvellous for focussing the mind. I am also working on some drawing projects which will take me away from the keyboard for a while, and I write other stuff too, which you can find popping up occasionally on my website https://nicolsonbrooks.com/. And I have my own little garden to look after. Keep looking in, though, as I have no idea what will land on the page, where it might come from, or when. You have all been invaluable to what has been produced so far.

Day 42 a - An addendum

A while back when I was on the subject of topiary, and gardening being a performing art, I was unable to find the necessary photos to back up what I was saying. A flash of inspiration led me to a drawer in my recently reorganised study -



where I found a number of photos which I had missed when I had a massive scanning session over several months in 2011 while recovering from an accident. Among them was the one of my late recruiting mentor which I have shown today. I was surprised to find also the following three, donated to me by a visitor. They show my wielding my tool with considerable dexterity under the intent gaze of a spectator. QED.






I genuinely used to love doing that.
