Come with me for a short stroll in my tranquil English garden this afternoon. Flowers are flowerin', #Bees are buzzin' and someone belting out Beatles classics at the village pub summer music event. Ah, well, it's only once a year.

I'd really stopped to enjoy the Coddington Parish Room next to the church, with its lovely cast iron windows and red phone box, and walk to the Bronze Age burial mound in the field opposite, but the churchyard next door with its crocus carpet was irresistible.

I always look up as well as down on my walks around our village. Often I spot a bird of prey swooping low, seeking prey in the fields and hedgerows. Within the past 10 years there has been a huge increase in the population of the lovely red kite.
