I’ve never been a gardener, but my parents energetically cultivated the modest back yard of my childhood home, in Weymouth, a coastal town a hundred and twenty miles southwest of London. When I was young, the garden was largely given over to a lawn, so that my brother and I could play, but my father kept a small vegetable patch where he grew runner beans, tomatoes, and marrows, and we had a plum tree and a pear tree.

Winnicottfor the crucial importance of play in a child’s evolving sense of self.

Sue was doing her clinical work remotely, rather than in London.
