FOOTNOTES: Dorothy, brother of William Wordsworth, once described daffodils as ‘dancing’. Surveying my own crop, covering a high bank, they were far from dancing. The snow and chill weather had left them lank and listless and looking very sorry for themselves. I know that when the weather becomes warmer they will perk up and put on their usual show of brilliant Spring colour, but at the moment they look very sorry for themselves. Followed by Chaplin, I climbed to the top of the bank and looked over to the South Downs Park. A few years ago I had a seat here and could sit and see nothing but fields for miles. Now a hundred or more roof tops are where once green fields flourished and tractors slowly trailed over brown earth, pursued by flocks of cawing gulls. With the sun hot on my face and my portable typewriter on my lap, it was a blissful way to spend a summer afternoon. However, times change and along with them my scenic view. It is still a pleasant place, but not quite the same. With Chaplin purring behind, we continued our tour of the garden. The previous day I had spent a lovely afternoon having tea with an old actor friend, and admired a climbing rose that entirely covered the end wall of his cottage garden. He gave me the name of the plant and on the way home I stopped at his garden centre, where he assured me I would find the rose I so admired. He was quite right and I was now looking for a suitable place to plant it. My own end garden fence was by far the most obvious choice and there it now is, in all its glory, both to my gardener’s approval, and of course more importantly, Chaplins. After such strenuous exertions we retired to the comfort of a warm kitchen, biscuits and coffee and me to the computer to try and finish a short story I was working on. Spring is definitely here, the kind man who mows the lawns for me is making the first cut this week, weather permitting, and that is always a sure sign that warm weather is just around the corner. Go safely, wherever your journeys take you.
