So there I was
digging away, happy in my own little world when the spade snagged on a stone.As is my habit and as I was taught by
my gardening neighbours many years ago, I went to pick up the stone to throw it into the hedge. One day in years to come I will be found behind a 20
foot wall of flung stones but my borders will be fine stone-free tilth; however I digress.As I stooped to pick up the stone I
realised it was not what I thought.I picked it up and at first thought it
was a large bolt as there are many in the garden.After a bit of a rub to remove the soil
I realised two things. Firstly that it did not contain a genie and secondly
that it was a window catch.
But where and when
was the window from?What did it look out onto and who have looked through
it?Was it a window
from another world?A portal from my garden leading to who knows where?
Probably not, but I
like my window catch.I now wonder if I will find more?
