The Years, Virginia Woolf.
I found this fascinating quote today in "The Years". It just popped up without warning.
I have no idea whether she actually became a birdwatcher in latter life. Does anyone know? Just drop a comment on this post.

I do remember the birds in the garden when I visited Monks House in Sussex. The property had a lovely vegetable garden and the rest of the grounds and orchard are preserved as they were when Virginia and Leonard lived there.
