Instead our garden is.mostly, an oasis of calm. We can clearly hear the song of many different birds and the burble of contented hens; the sky is blue and clear; the sun is warm and benevolent; we're seeing loads of butterflies, not just cabbage whites.
Of course we also get the hens having spats, the sound of lawnmowers, sanding, drilling, or whatever pastimtes people are enjoying, and the occasional bark from the dogs either side.
If it wasn't for Covid19 causing the peace, this would be the most idyllic of locations.
