Things change...

The view from our bedroom window has changed.

Sameena-next-door has dispensed with her garden and is putting down a pavement.

I remember how lovingly Nelly-next-door used to tend her flowerbed. I saw her working out there just days- maybe it was just hours- before she died.  It makes me wistful.

That´s sad.
They might have at least left some space around the edges for flowers. But as somebody said, maybe they´ll do container gardening. There´s nothing sadder than a barren concrete (or tiled) space in front of a house, for me anyway.

There'a a house we see on our way into Manchester. It gives straight onto the pavement and the owner (legally or illegally-who knows?) has fenced himself off a tiny plot and filled it with tubs. We see him watering his plants or sitting on the front step enjoying the view.

My kind of man!

I can´t fathom living with a bleak view of the pavement.
