My garden, always a source of pleasure but this year more than usual. It was the place where passers by would stop and chat over the fence - where conversation was not held over a digital platform and the weather was glorious.Suddenly we all heard the bird song. Wildlife ventured right out into the road and the sky was as blue and clear as a Constable painting. I should mention that living in a village also brings with it the smell of the farmyard manure and accompanying flies.
