At the Bottom of our Garden..


I have lived in the same home for well over twenty years now and at the bottom of our garden is another running diagonally across it and beyond which there was waste ground and a Rec until the plot was sold for building. Now the garden behind us is locked into a small triangle of space making it even more mysterious than it was before. It's owned by an old lady who is quite extraordinary in character - most of the time she appears to be completely gaga - though she lives alone and goes about her business quite purposefully so one wonders exactly what the balance of her mind is. And her business, for a good deal of the year is pottering around her land and making 'interventions'. This illustrates one of those - one of the less peculiar and unusual. Why and what she thinks she is doing you can but hazard a guess at...
