What the Fran

Not in a fact a random photo of spinach

Got an email from some photo service and opened it up and thought, that's a very random photo of spinach.

mostly out of focus spinach leaves growing

Then actually read the email and turns out it's my random photo of spinach that however many years ago I got printed on a phone case. Which I had completely forgotten about.

It was in my garden in London. I had two plastic planters and grew spinach, obviously, chillis, herbs. I was sowing coriander and spilled the seeds so it grew all over the patio.

One resolution that garden gave me was that when I had my own house I wouldn't mess around trying to resurrect a basically dead lawn. Now I have my own house and spend a lot of time messing around trying to resurrect a basically dead lawn.

I think about our neighbours there. We left mere months before lockdown. We had good relationships but not good enough to stay in touch. I miss them and I hope they are okay. There are lots of things I miss about that house, that place, that time, London even. But it was a weird one also and there are zero regrets.

So, thank you random marketing email for the reminiscences.
