12 months ago I wrote about my
resolution to make a conscious effort to enjoy life more. Back then I
had no idea that 2014 would be filled with so many twists and turns,
good things and bad things. I'm pleased to say that did get to enjoy
life more; 2014 was the year I visited more gardens, took more
pictures and met more great gardeners, and I certainly enjoyed that!

The changing of year seems to be a
popular time to make predictions for the coming 12 months. I'm not
going to fall into this trap for 2015, except to say that I will
certainly be enjoying plants and gardening! I have some strange goals
for this year- I want to see Rehderodendron macrocarpum in flower and
in fruit (I know, weird!)- and I want to start garden visiting much
earlier and see more of the early season displays in Cornish gardens.
I don't know why I've missed them in the past; somehow it's always
too late before I get to any serious garden visiting.

| Cold and frosty morning to close 2014 |
I feel that this is the right time to
thank all those who've supported me during a challenging year.
Without the advice of people who've faced their own challenges and
won through, my own situation would have been overwhelming. I'm
indebted to a lot of people who have shown great kindness and
generosity of spirit.
2014 has taught me first hand that a
lot can happen in a year, but I certainly hope that 2015 will bring
great things to a lot of great people. Happy new year to all, and
let's raise a toast to 2015, a year of great gardening.
Ben
