The Good Life
Local campaigner Jenny Kelly reflects on making the most of her garden during lockdown. During lockdown I found myself with more time at home than I had ever had before. I began to re-evaluate my life and to seriously consider what was important to me. I could never get physical and mental well being taking top priority and to that effect I looked around for ways to improve them. I didn't have to search too far as I found what I was looking for in my garden. For years it had been a 'place to keep on top of' - keeping the grass cut and the weeds from the flower beds. Now it has a very different feel to it.
