I am guessing some gardening rubbed off on me from my father(only thing i would credit him with was being a good gardener). I used to live in a flat so had loads of house plants(which i still have ) but mainly, my garden is my sanity,I can't work and I love being outside doing what i can, I get a sense of satisfaction when i see the rewards of the work i do. Be it flowers or veg. Next season it will be better as my raised veg beds will be in place, there is nothing better than having dinner with something just harvested from the garden. I just love it, all of it, every mucky moment is worth it ;D Good philosophy Rosie, I just wondered (going off subject for a mo) with your rainfall, will you lose nutrients from your raised bed?

That is a good question, but I would not think the beds are high enough to lose nutrients so the soil would be of a ph which takes in the climate, rock types, etc. Normally, Rosie's area should not expect more rain that you get. The raised beds would be able to be made more fertile.
I have raised beds here, but they are quite high and I have to add goodies to them every year, but not the surrounding soil, which is very high quality.
