MOMENTS IN THE TIME OF PANDEMIC - NO.5

what will most remind me of this period… will be the re-doing of the doors and façade of my shed and grotto

One of the things I will remember from lockdown is the long hours I spent working on my garden doing many little things, but what will most remind me of this period, even many years from now, will be the re-doing of the doors and façade of my shed and grotto. I have written an epitaph in memory of the surreal moment we went through, hoping that I will not ever have to do it again.
