I hope you might share about your mother’s garden progress too. I love the silence where I live so I am able to hear all the birdsong. Thank you

This is so beautiful. It evokes so much of what I am feeling on a cold (snow was swirling in the air ..not normal for May) day quarantined far away from Spitalfields in Boston USA.

To my way of thinking there are parallels with the building next door where the special garden and old tree are the equivalent to your unique contributions, whereas the dreaded floating kitchen island (which will probably go out of fashion really quickly anyway) are the equivalent to a so called “proper job”.

We need people like you and the GA to continue doing the “improper” jobs which enrich our lives.

Thank you both.

Note I do not say “should”. Too much of that going on already. Stay safe.
