They're busy constructing the Northern Distributor road not far from us, and the upheaval of the land looks like the Somme at the moment. I'm sure it will be fine when it's finished (hmmm...) But the beautiful wild flowers that have been stimulated to seed and grow are amazing. My husband was looking at the poppies, campions, cornflowers etc along the roadside and remarked that it all looked far more attractive than our feeble efforts with our garden. I wonder if he's not hinting that we leave our weeds so he can have a nice rest with his feet up, plugged in to his music?
