My parents love their garden, and like to photograph the changes.
A time-lapse study of their pictures could track the changes through a London year.
There may be some comparisons between now and what my my father noticed through the 1980s and 90s.
I kept the letters my father wrote, before he developed Alzheimer’s, and bound the years of comment on his garden by months.
There is family correspondence from the 1920s and 30s too. Tom and Lillie, my great grand parents on my father’s side, exchanged letters about their gardens, when they spent time apart – their in houses in London and Australia.
Looking at the changes they described could make an interesting study.
