    The 52 week Challenge 2016

    Life can be a bit predictable sometimes and its easy to fall back on the same old things, week in week out, because they're familiar and its easy. So for 2016 I'm challenging myself, and anyone who would like to join in, to do something different each week for a year!
    It can be something simple like sowing a new type of seed, eating or cooking something unusual or doing something in a different way. Perhaps going somewhere that you've never been before, or not for a long time or meeting up with a Grape. Anything really that is new or you haven't done for a while. You may find you never want to do it again, but at least you'll have tried. If we say what we've done, it may give others the idea of trying it too.
    Anyone up for the Challenge?

    Some of you may remember trying this in 2013.

          Count me in as well VC. I do indeed remember this in 2013 and of course I failed to finish it, but, God loves a tryer, so I am going to give it another shot.

          And when your back stops aching,
          And your hands begin to harden.
          You will find yourself a partner,
          In the glory of the garden.

                OK. I'm up for this. First of all I'm going to rejoin a club I used to belong to but had to resign because of circumstances. That is today.

                        Hmmmmm.

                        I loved this last time round hazel's 52 wk challenge 2013, but it was a commitment.

                        Perhaps I could have special dispensation for one-a-month too?

                          You did well, I think!! Of course you can have a dispensation. 12 Challenges is better than None.

                            I have spent the last hour reading back on this, and I am ashamed to say I only got as far as August.
                            Lesson to myself,,,,, I must try harder.

                            And when your back stops aching,
                            And your hands begin to harden.
                            You will find yourself a partner,
