  1. #[ 02 ]# At the allotment, the robin hopped down to see me as I dug. He came

within ten centimetres of me or so (as I remained statue still).

  1. #[ 03 ]# At the allotment again, I observed a rather withered looking fox

  1. #[ 04 ]# A peek at a friendly robin through the trees, on a day I walked for

  1. #[ 05 ]# Lying in somewhat overgrown grass, and observing the ants and

spiders within it.

  1. #[ 06 ]# Observing a rain-specked calendula flower under torchlight of an

  1. #[ 07 ]# Lifting up sheets of black plastic to spot the families of slow worm.
