Essex man, Dr D.G. Hessayon the famous gardening expert, has said he's lost interest in gardening because he doesn't find it therapeutic any longer.
Dr Hessayon is 80 and I suppose when you've been doing something for donkey's years it can lose some of it's sparkle. But I find it terribly sad that a man, whose books have sold millions and given hope to little people like me, could have reached the stage where he no longer wants to potter outside.
I hope he finds another love, because passion shouldn't have a grow-by date.
Things I find therapeutic:
Friends.
Giving my love.
Writing
Cooking
Talking
Doing simple things well.
