There was a sharp ground frost first thing this morning, which lifted into a thick mist as soon as the sun came up over the rooftops. Our run of sunny, calm days continued, however, so it was on with warm tops and yard boots and out into the back garden for the first tidy-up of the year.
“I want a bigger garden than this in the next place,” Graham said as we sat down for a coffee break when the job was done.
“That’d be nice.”
“With a patch where I can grow a few veggies.”
“That’d be nice, too.”
“And a proper water feature.”
“That’d be…”
“Yeah. I know. Nice.”
And so we sit by the kitchen door, sipping quietly at best quality espresso, and wondering what the future may bring. And when.
For me, particularly when.
