Evening gardening

The hay fever has subsided a bit today so after work I went outside and spent a couple of hours in the garden. I was after a bit of peace but there were dogs barking, children shouting, a motorbike revving, flutes playing (badly) ... After a while I filtered it out and enjoyed getting my hands dirty. I always knew that gardening can be therapeutic but this article by the brilliant Alys Fowler in this weekend's Guardian says it all.
