| I've got used to writing this online
diary but writing my garden sketchbook is something very different.
I'm trying to make the pages look relaxed and organic instead of
trying to cram too much in.
This evening, as I draw the view of the beech hedge in our front
garden through the lounge window, a blackbird is singing, bumblebees
are busy in the cotoneaster which grows up the front wall of the
house and I can hear a collared dove making the repetious call,
memorably described by presenters Oddie and Humble on the Springwatch
programmes as sounding like:
I - don't - know,
I - don't - know,
I - don't - know . . .
 I
don't know; I'm going to find it hard to forget that mnemonic now.
