I'm very aware of how lucky we are. I really love that it is so shaded but different spots get intense sun at different times of day. I love all the different trees (holly, sycamore, oak, chestnut, ash, laurel, rhododendron and some others yet to be identified) and the avenue type space they make. We'll be able to teach mini_com about the different types and the different leaves and seeds. We'll get acorns, conkers and sycamore "helicopters" all in our back garden. Then there's the apples and brambles and blackberries from next door's garden. Plus the wildlife here is pretty great, for Croydon. There's a local litter of four fox kits that play down the end of the garden every evening. Tons of squirrels and birds. Even a couple of jays!
