Since lockdown I have had much more time to be at the plot, as other half is furloughed and I am working from home. It has never looked so good! We have our own hedged plot and never get near anyone else. It has been lovely just to watch the birds doing their thing. A couple of weeks ago I made a very makeshift pond, just 3 polystyrene boxes sat together. So many birds use it to drink from and bathe in, I love watching bunches of house sparrows there. The sound of them takes me back to days at home when they used to nest in a big clematis we had. Their numbers seem to be going up again around here, so I will let them nibble my beetroot seedlings, or some of them!
