It was a beautiful sunny day, EMA is submitted, OU studies now finished until October, absolutely nothing to do which is great, just a form to fill in for next years course. Next term I hope to take the module 'Creativity in language"
There was hardly any parked cars now on the street. neighbours car had gone. I heard her earlier talking to her grandson, she was telling him to quickly bring his bucket and spade!
I knew that this was my best opportunity to get out there and into my back garden. I am lucky to be tucked away on the end house in the corner, surrounded by beautiful trees on both sides, it's a lovely garden.
Anyway, today I could sit outside in peace, or potter about in the garden, sit on my bright green bench, barefoot, in my straw hat, long pink lace dress, drinking a cold glass of fizzy pink lemonade.
I admired all the flowers that I had planted in pots earlier in the year, like the primroses, marigolds, lobelias,begonias, pansies, pink and red geraniums and poppies
At the far side of the garden is a small wood (belonging to the retirement home) a group of trees bordering the back of our house. The wood is sometimes home to owls and squirrels, as well as lots of different species of birds, including wood pidgeons, thrushes, doves, blackbirds, sparrows, robins, blue tits, and chaffinches. In the mornings it comes alive with bird song and is bustling with activity.
I sat and watched the comings and goings of the birds, as they landed on the bird bath and bird table, which I have situated on the far side of the garden, close to the fence beneath the trees. I had a perfect view of the birds, but they couldn't see me, especially when I was sitting quite still on the bench and not moving !
Solitude in the garden.

I quite liked being invisible!
