This might be your neighbour, your family or someone you pass in the street. A smile or ‘good morning’ goes much further than it did before we all wore masks.

Plan to sow garlic or plant daffodils if you want to keep yourself busy and your hands in the earth this weekend but make sure to take time to absorb this beautiful change in season.

The light is perfect and somehow these last rays always shine the brightest.
