For a while there, the mornings belonged to the blackbird, robin and wren. And maybe the odd young fox too. They were often joined by a light breeze, in splintered dawn sunlight.
That was it. Mostly silence, peppered with light birdsong. But now the early mornings have seen some old familiar sounds return - with the movement of cars, people and bikes, lots of bikes.
We awaken. The coronavirus crisis has had a variety of effects on people. There was great fear and some are still very concerned about what comes next.
For others, the whole experience has deepened their sense of isolation and loneliness. And for so many families, with no choice but to all stay at home, and watch lots of TV, it has brought relationships into high definition.
