From Nel’s blog: “Being in lockdown makes us all do funny things be they good bad or plain weird. So with that in mind I seem to be fixated on looking at green things and am still making ‘Gordon“ the giant Gecko, out of chicken wire and garden netting, with Polly our daughter. It’s probably the result of spending so much time in my garden! Although Gordon is being made to crawl down the outside of the house as one corner is always very shady. We still want to paint him and we need to work out how to do his eyes and not to mention how to attach him to the wall!! As for my interest in greens well I think it must be a need for calm which is what my garden gives me and I know we are very very lucky to have one.”
