Some folks complain of noisy neighbours, but ours are lovely. And they’re very polite, too, popping around to say hello when the windows are open. Sometimes they get a bit lost and wander in, but they soon find their way out again.

It’s real pretty having the plants growing up the walls like this, and we get other visitors, too. Ladybirds are cute, and butterflies, and shield bugs, and little birds. But there’s also spiders. They’re okay, I guess, but why do they have to hide in the corners all creepy and… leggy? Suspicious little things.
