Allotment as therapy
I’m feeling incredibly anxious at the moment, worrying about this interview tomorrow.
I’m hopeful that I can pop down to the allotment for a little while this afternoon to help calm my nerves. I find the quiet there very soothing, the space is calming, and sticking my hands in the soil is grounding (no pun intended, honest). I could certainly do with all of those things.

I’ve just seen your post about having research published. It’s a great feeling when that sort of thing happens. It makes the nerves worth it… almost. Katie was on radio 6 on tuesday, and I ended up cleaning the bath because i just couldn’t listen. Anxiousness does push you into doing odd things, and i guess gardening would have been a more preferable thing to do! I unfortunately didn’t think of it at the time.
Good luck in the interview, and I hope the allotment helps keep your mind off things.
