When I look out of my window there’s no people.
It’s very quiet.
All I can hear is the birds.
We have a variety that come round here.
A lot of sparrows, magpies and blackbirds.
We’ve got a proper bird bath but they prefer to have a bath in the plastic tub!
And it’s the most beautiful sight first thing in the morning.
The loveliest thing. I can see a little angel with a heart.
My friend gave it to me just after I lost my mum.
So I put it in the garden because that was her sanctuary.
There are flowers – very delicate pink ones that come up every year.
Absolutely stunning. And Sweet William and Nasturtiums.
It’s a bit grey but it’s still bright from the sun.
We’ve had a shower. My view in three words? Tranquil. Still. Peaceful.
And I feel comforted cos my mum’s sanctuary is here – the greenhouse and the slate fountain.
And there’s Bonsais in a larger pot. The form of them is beautiful.
And Forget- me-Nots. That meant a lot to her.
