Martin is in the process of moving house, but he’ll be ‘between houses’ for a bit. He’ll be fine! He’ll work something out for himself. He has rented storage space for his stuff. But he also has plants. These would die in storage. He also spoke of a tree he wanted to dig out, and replant in the garden of the new place.
He asked if I would be willing to host them. I was happy to! I would turn into a repository of other people’s creatures; after all I have a cat who also started out as a guest for someone who was between houses. And some of my plants are inherited from my former office mate who left for Cornwall. I think unlike these examples, these plants will actually go back to Martin, though.
One Monday evening he and his partner drove up and delivered the lot. Most went into the conservatory! That’s a place in flux anyway. And it has sunlight. It looks quite nice in there now. There was no tree. Maybe they had underestimated how much work all this would be without digging out a tree. I could imagine.
I hope Martin can put his roots down soon! Being in between houses is tiresome. And I’ll do my best to make sure he has all his plants back in good condition when he gets to that stage…
