Love all..

Living next to a tennis court can be very pretty - but often sort of noisy. There are deep primeval grunts, worthy of a Williams girl - which can be quite off-putting when you're trying to sip a GandT and soak up the monthly ration of five minutes of sun. Then there are the kids classes - all earnestly striving to be the next Andy, Roger or Rafa.

One effect is this strange new growth we get in the garden - a dozen at least a week.
