Hello Friends! First, a quick thank you for all your kind comments and emails about Wednesday’s letter. I’m so glad that what I wrote resonated with so many of you. The work continues, and now, back to gardening! The garden is fattening up and bursting forth. I’m getting a lovely chunky jam-jar of sweet peas every other day and I am LOVING the rain that has appeared…drumming down consistently. I’m a complete pluviophile, and rain always, always calms me down. It’s something to do with the sound, but also the fact that the garden can drink. I adore the lovely weather we had in May (and thank heavens for it, because it made lock-down so much easier) but there’s not getting away from the fact that May’s level of heat was WRONG. Climate change is REAL and yes, lovely weather is cheering and all that, but without any rain or coolness our gardens become parched. Watering is meditative, but there is a certain lingering anxiety underpinning it.
