Know the feeling well Nightshade.Where my parents live, there was a lovely, little green which was covered in daffs in the spring and had the remains of an apple orchard-about a dozen, wizen trees, that the birds loved.
Now there are three houses crammed together. My Mum could see a sea of yellow from her window in the spring-now she looks at 30' of brick wall. Needless to say, the birds have moved on to.
