I must admit that nature is not at the top of my mind when I pick up Chipperfield News
and I guess in the early days I probably skipped past Wendy Bathurst’s monthly column! That
said, I am now a devoted fan.
Sometimes I wonder if Wendy lives in the same village when she describes the antics in her
garden (OK so hers is somewhat larger), but I often read in amazement the activities of the
creatures around us all that I evidently know so little about.
Be it the love-life of the fox, or dare I suggest the life of the common worm, Wendy has
the ability to bring them to life in a prose that suggests she is capable of a far wider
audience than Chipperfield.
My final thought is, does Wendy sleep at night, or is she in her garden?
